macOS support?

[thomasvanta]

This is a fantastic tool and I was just wondering how much of an effort you think it will be to port it to macOS ?

@thomasvanta its a good question, assuming the gui library and the python library that generates the executable can work similarly on mac, in theory we could build a mac version. Though I have not looked into it yet!

Hi there, I just looked a bit closer into it.
Dearpygui works on macOS, as well as pyinstaller.
We would have the same issue as in windows with the virus warning, but with code signing. There's ways around, probably a notarised pkg or dmg.
The main challenge I see is the refactor of td_launcher.py to use a different method of finding the installed versions as in PC, since we don't have a registry.
I would go by checking the Launch Services Database and list all apps that can open:
kMDItemContentType = "ca.derivative.toe"
If a find a free weekend, I may try and help.
