Buildozer: Fails to package app on OSX Sierra 10.12.4 (hdiutil: attach failed - image not recognized keka)

Created on 12 May 2017 · 10Comments · Source: kivy/buildozer

Related to #427

Appears to to be a few issues happening here.

1) Fails to find local install of the kivy.app so downloads it
2) Fails to download keka as part of the installation of kivy

I have tried with Kivy as pip package, with Kivy.app in /Applications, with Kivy.app in local dir . and with all 3 at once. buildozer always tries to download Kivy.

I installed buildozer with both
pip install git+http://github.com/kivy/buildozer
and
pip install git+http://github.com/kivy/buildozer@master

I made the simple pong tutorial, and the app runs fine with a pip install of Kivy.

See below for details...

Most helpful comment

I was able to locate the problem and fix the error.

This has been extremely helpful in helping me to get kivy to build in MacOS (via GitHub actions) using buildozer. I'm not sure why this isn't documented on the official documentation, since it's--what--2 years old?

I did find a couple issues

it appears that the syntax has since changed for ./create-osx-bundle.sh -- which now takes the version of kivy followed by the version of python. So change

./create-osx-bundle.sh python3

to this (or similar):

./create-osx-bundle.sh 1.11.1 3.7.3

I found that I had to comment out these two blocks

## Change buildozer to use a python3.7 virtual environment instead of python2.7
#pushd /usr/local/lib/$PYTHON_EXEC_VERSION/site-packages/buildozer
#sed -i '' 's;virtualenv --python=python2.7;virtualenv --python=python3.7;g' __init__.py
#popd
#
## Change the osx target to use python3 to run the package_app.py script.
#pushd /usr/local/lib/$PYTHON_EXEC_VERSION/site-packages/buildozer/targets
#sed -i '' "s;'python', 'package_app.py';'python3', 'package_app.py';g" osx.py
#popd

I had to remove 'python3' from the list of requirements in the buildozer.spec file, else it tries to do a pip3 install python3, which of course fails (not sure why this is the default in the spec file from buildozer init
I had to add a bogus item to requirements.txt, because if 'kivy' is the only item, it throws a fit. I put pip in it, so the requirements.txt file's contents is:

pip

I found that the sed command to drop the decode of utf-8 actually breaks it, and I needed to remove it

#sed -i '' "s;\.decode('utf-8');;g" package_app.py

I'm almost there: currently everything works except the python binary that's shipped with buildozer at myapp.app/Contents/Resources/python. Not sure why, but apparently the python binaries downloaded by buildozer via pyenv change every execution. smh.

Should be fixed by #505

Issue still persists for me.

It also persists in my case too

@Rusbens1 @iruriksl can you folks please post your logs

akshayaurora on 12 Mar 2018

@akshayaurora Not fixed. Just found this page when using latest kivy, latest buildozer.

Hi,

I received the same error when I've tried to package a kivy app on macOS Sierra 10.12.6 using buildozer.

Is there any workaround to fix this?

Hi,

I was able to locate the problem and fix the error.

Considering you are using python3, the main problem is that if buildozer doesn't find a file called Kivy3.app it tries to download a dmg file from http://kivy.org/downloads/1.10.0/Kivy-1.10.0-osx-python3.dmg which obviously does not exist. Thus the downloaded file is invalid and hdiutil ist not able to attach it. And here, the long way of the journey to fix that problem begins :-D

The big hurdle to overcome is to generate your own Kivy3.app inside the temporary directory .buildozer/osx/platform/kivy-sdk-packager-master/osx using the script "create-osx-bundle.sh", modify your buildozer installation to use python3 and fix the local python script package_app.py. Here are the steps to run everything on a fresh installed macOS Sierra 10.12.6. Finally, you got your packaged application as dmg-file. There is place for some optimization to speed up your build, but I leave this as an exercise ;-)

Run this script to create your build environment to package for Android and macOS:

setup_environment.sh

buildozer osx debug

I was able to locate the problem and fix the error.

I did find a couple issues

it appears that the syntax has since changed for ./create-osx-bundle.sh -- which now takes the version of kivy followed by the version of python. So change

./create-osx-bundle.sh python3

to this (or similar):

./create-osx-bundle.sh 1.11.1 3.7.3

I found that I had to comment out these two blocks

## Change buildozer to use a python3.7 virtual environment instead of python2.7
#pushd /usr/local/lib/$PYTHON_EXEC_VERSION/site-packages/buildozer
#sed -i '' 's;virtualenv --python=python2.7;virtualenv --python=python3.7;g' __init__.py
#popd
#
## Change the osx target to use python3 to run the package_app.py script.
#pushd /usr/local/lib/$PYTHON_EXEC_VERSION/site-packages/buildozer/targets
#sed -i '' "s;'python', 'package_app.py';'python3', 'package_app.py';g" osx.py
#popd

I had to remove 'python3' from the list of requirements in the buildozer.spec file, else it tries to do a pip3 install python3, which of course fails (not sure why this is the default in the spec file from buildozer init
I had to add a bogus item to requirements.txt, because if 'kivy' is the only item, it throws a fit. I put pip in it, so the requirements.txt file's contents is:

pip

I found that the sed command to drop the decode of utf-8 actually breaks it, and I needed to remove it

#sed -i '' "s;\.decode('utf-8');;g" package_app.py

@maltfield @astahlhofen Were you ever able to figure this issue out? I am currently struggling with the same issue and have not been able to get the above strategy to work. Any help would be really appreciated!

mdegenero on 7 Aug 2020

I recommend that you just fork this repo. It has build scripts that "just work" to spit-out a self-contained kivy executable app in Linux, Windows, and MacOS:

https://github.com/maltfield/cross-platform-python-gui

I ended up abandoning buildzoer (mainly because the python binary it was downloading through the ridiculously complex process described above differs on every execution and therefore wasn't deterministic). I spent days on it, then got PyInstaller working in less than a day.

I built the above-linked repo to make this easier for folks to build apps in kivy without having to setup a build environment and fight with the build tools like I did for about a month.
