[PySide] Submitting App to Mac Store

[Cristián Maureira-Fredes]

Hey Pedro,

Glad you managed to reduce the amount of invalid symbols.

There is no other PySide distribution, so I think the safe bet
would be to build Qt, but only the modules you need by yourself
with that option, then building PySide only for those modules,
and then packaging your app, or wait for 6.5 which should not include 
those symbols according to 
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/437376


Maybe you can try the RC wheels of PySide?
they can always be found in
https://download.qt.io/snapshots/ci/pyside/dev/latest/split_wheels/

and if those don't present the issue, maybe you just need to wait for
the official release of 6.5.0

If that doesn't work, it'd be something we'd need to explore for maybe
6.5.1 if possible.

Cheers!
