You didn't mention gtk-osx, only that you'd put the actual program outside of
the bundle.
Now-now. Apple supports lots of open-source projects where they see it in their
interest: consider llvm, lldb, and webkit: All are basically Apple projects.
Catalina won't let you have a bundle that runs a program that's not in the
bundle, nor will it allow a bundled program to dyld libraries outside of the
bundle and not in the system library directories. (You can dlopen outside
libraries from pre-specified locations if you use the plugins entitlement when
code signing the bundle, but that's a bit different.)
The simplest path forward is to use gtk-mac-bundler.
