I'm pretty sure it can. We've moved to PyInstaller, which does work, and
I'm'pretty sure that py2app can work with conda's non-Framework build.

and it's on conda-forge, so presumably it's worked for at least one person
:-)

https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/py2app

I do recall some issues a while back that have presumably been resolved.

Actually, perhaps conda would work for you :-) I'm not clear on what gitHub
actions allows, but you can certainly use conda on, e.g. TravisCI with
OS-X. I've only used it to run tests, but I can't see why you couldn't
build a app that way.

By the way, it's great to "see" all you from back in the day -- this has
been a very quiet list lately!
