Thanks,

I also get that error when trying to open the "Mac Silicon" download.
If i try it from Terminal, like so

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

I was able to get the app to work on my M1 Mac (Apple Silicon) by cloning the repo and following the instructions in README.md.

First time it didn't work with the same error message I get from the download on the front page.
That build, I had only uncommented 'py2app' in requirements.txt.

Then I did what the py2app debig page suggests with install errors... ran this command from the root folder of where I cloned the repo to...

dist/dcc.app/Contents/MacOS/dcc

Which said it couldn't find "PySimpleGUI".

PySimpleGUI is another item that was commented out in requirements.txt, so I uncommented that too, ran the build process over again including the pip install step, and now dcc.app displays the GUI. Happy days!

So - @farffir that might work for you too, and @bornfree I wonder if the app listed under 'MacOS (apple Silicon)' here https://bornfree.github.io/dive-color-corrector/ might have been built with the same issue?

Hope that helps someone.
