Binary app error: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement

[PhilipVinc]

Hello,

I tried to setup a project using hatch/pyapp, but after building the project with pyapp (which completes successfully) I keep getting the following error.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement test_app==0.0.1 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for test_app ==0.0.1

The steps I followed where to create a project with hatch init test_app then edit the pyproject.toml by adding those two lines

[project.scripts]
test_app = "test_app:main"

[tool.hatch.build.targets.binary]
test_app = ["test_app"]

and then build the app with hatch build --target binary.

I am on macOS.

Is this somehow known? Do you have some ideas on what I could try to do to fix it?

After considerate effort googling in GitHub, I found out that with the following script I am able to generate some build-in images that work...

#!/usr/bin/env bash
current_version=$(hatch version)
hatch build
PYAPP_UV_ENABLED="1" PYAPP_PROJECT_PATH="$(ls ${PWD}/dist/test_app-${current_version}-py3-none-any.whl)" PYAPP_DISTRIBUTION_EMBED="1" hatch build -t binary

Nevertheless, I'm unsure of how this happens to work while the other does not.
