Trying to build an Kivy OSX package .app with buildozer but getting errors

Followed the instructions for buildozer on the kivy doc site: https://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-osx.html#using-buildozer. I've tried with both Python 3 and 2 and still getting the same errors... Any help?

Error here:

Solution

  • Never mind. Figured it out. Installed pyinstaller in python and kivy. Then edited buildozer file osx.py line 163 to: binpath = join(dirname(abspath(self.buildozer.specfilename)), '.buildozer')
