Recently, I have created a simple python app with a GUI implemented with the PyQt5 library. I have tested the app itself multiple times and everything works fine. However, after I tried to package that as an executable using pyinstaller, running the resultant executable doesn't create the GUI and instead leads to segmentation fault: 11. I read that this error code means that the program lacks access to a memory address that it is supposed to be able to access, but I have no idea why.
How can I tackle this?
Here's part of the crash report:
