It's an .app bundle. You can read about them here:

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/AboutBundles/AboutBundles.html

Right click any existing .app and select "view contents" to see the structure. You will also be required to sign and notarize any app for distribution these days. https://wiki.freepascal.org/Notarization_for_macOS_10.14.5%2B

@eldonfsr: Everything you need to know is contained in the Wiki's Mac Portal page. I can keep posting links to it but you might as well just read it for yourself and save me the trouble. Hint: there's a topic called "Deploying Your Application".

I provided a working example in the Wiki with plenty of error checking and diagnostics. Did you get that example to work? If not, what is the error?

Then you are not doing everything that is required for your executable to find the library in its own application bundle framework folder.
