Nothing like posting a question to trigger stumbling across the solution. It appears that a solution was found back in the Summer in this thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org/msg40317.html
I tried adding this and both of the problems seem to have gone - although I still did get an exception when I exited the bare bones standalone python code. export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH="/Applications/QGIS3.app/Contents/Plugins" John Hello, Now that QGIS3 is well underway I’ve been looking at getting some Python3 code working with QGIS as standalone and plugins apps. But I have two - possibly related persistent problems with QGIS3 and this list was suggested as a good place to ask advice. I’m running 3.4 (just upgraded yesterday) on Mac OSX 10.13.6 I can work in QGIS and have been using it for ongoing work - so everything seems good until I get to quitting. Shortly after I’ve closed QGIS I get crash report (parts included below). Its a bit unclear exactly what is causing the crash - and its been happening since I went to QGIS3. I should (admit) that I was also running the beta and building that so there is a possibility that I have some left over side effects of that I have not been able to clean up. I have taken out everything I can track down on that and some other dev things (not QGIS) I was doing a year or longer ago. The other crash that may be related and seems to give more info is when I run the basic standalone app example from the PyQGIS book. The : = QgsApplication([], False) crashes with an abort trap 6 and the message: qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "cocoa" in “" This looks a lot like a missing path problem, but I have been unable to resolve where it is missing. As far as I can see the qt and cocoa support libraries are in the GIS3 app contents subdirectories, so I’m at a loss as to what is really missing. Any suggestions for where to go would be appreciated. John Harrop Senior Project Geologist CMG Here is a part of the crash report after closing the QGIS app. QT seems to be involved in this too - although the details are less clear to me. So I’m hoping that solving one problem will clear both.: Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: EXC_I386_GPFLT Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY Termination Signal: Segmentation
