The issue may be related to pyinstaller and older OS.
Please, try opening the app package (control + click on the Ground Control icon) → “Show Package Contents” → “Contents” → “MacOS” → “Ground Control 2022” and see if it works.
Updating your Mac OS to the latest version should fix the issue as well.
all software for this system is open source available on github. you can get source. it will run on linux. The only part that takes some patience is installing the dependent libraries so python will run, but it does work. I’ve done it on my linux laptop and on two different raspberry pi systems that run linux.

Updating MacOS is not possible … Im running on old hardware.
Can you post a link to the repository, so I try build from source. I could not find it.
Let me know if you get tripped up with webcontrol getting the repository / cloning etc. or getting requirements.txt to install. It took me a couple hours the first time on the raspberry pi to set up development, but last time it took a couple minutes with python 3.84 on my linux laptop. I removed all of the version numbers within requirements.txt and ran the
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
to install the latest everything and it appeared to load and function and launch the web page.
