Selur, I absolutely understand, and I think the difficulties you face with trying to create a native Mac app aren't insurmountable, but certainly they're a significant barrier at the moment. So, maybe you should try tackling this from a different perspective? What about doing what a lot of other developers who want their software on Mac do: you could bundle the existing Hybrid Windows app and all the plugins included (like you already do), bundle that with a custom, private WINE build (for the translation layer), wrap it all inside the Mac GUI that you already have developed for the native Mac app you've been working on, notarize the app (or just instruct users who download it to run the Terminal command to exclude it from Apple's quarantine list), and then you'd be done? Seems like it'd be way easier and more manageable for you to upkeep that than to keep trying to craft it natively.
Right now, the dev version of Hybrid is running nearly flawlessly via CrossOver on my Mac. There are some annoying UI glitches because of that, but I'd imagine they could be pretty easily fixed.
