Py2App error when lauching app (python)(MacOS)

I'm trying to convert my tkinter Python app into a native macOS application. Here's my setup.py file:

from setuptools import setup
import glob

APP = ['mail.py']
DATA_FILES = [
    ('.', ['token.json', 'email_map.json']),
    ('juillet', glob.glob('juillet/*'))
]
OPTIONS = {
    'argv_emulation': True,
    'packages': [
        'google_auth_oauthlib',  # Include Google Auth libraries
        'googleapiclient',       # Include Google API client libraries
        'PIL',                   # Include PIL (Pillow) package
        'pytesseract',           # Include pytesseract package
        'tkinter',               # Include tkinter package
    ],
    'includes': [
        'email',                 # Include email module
    ],
    'frameworks': ['/opt/homebrew/opt/libffi/lib/libffi.dylib'],  # Specify the full path to libffi.dylib
}

setup(
    app=APP,
    data_files=DATA_FILES,
    options={'py2app': OPTIONS},
    setup_requires=['py2app'],
)

When I execute python setup.py py2app in my terminal, it completes successfully! However, when I try to open the application by navigating to dist/mail.app/Contents/MacOS/mail and executing it, I encounter the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

See the py2app website for debugging launch issues

This is my first experience with py2app and I've spent several hours on it. I really need your help. Sincerely,
