Description

Hi there,

I've been using cargo-bundle to bundle builds but when I bundle the app I have built with druid and run it on another mac with the same arch I get this:

This could be an issue with cargo-bundle but since it used to work with other apps I wrote I think it might be a thing I'm missing related to druid? Perhaps we need frameworks that need to be bundled with this? (https://github.com/burtonageo/cargo-bundle#mac-os-x-specific-settings)

I'm also open to hear what others do to bundle their app. I don't mind using something else as long as I can share my binary with other macs. Cheers

Research direction
This issue is a user question about bundling a Druid app for macOS. The cause could be missing system frameworks or misconfigured cargo bundle. Investigate Druid's build requirements on macOS and compare with other Rust GUI apps like egui. Check the cargo bundle documentation for macOS specific settings. Review linked issues or discussions about bundling in the Druid repository.
