bug: Unable to compile on macOS

[nechry]

Bug Report

NanoVNA-Saver version:

v0.7.2

Current behavior:

Impossible to compile on macOS...

Expected behavior:

Enable to compile as before on macOS via the build-macos-app.sh script

Steps to reproduce:

It looks like some files are no longer required for existing deployment on other platforms like:
requirements.txt, setup.cfg, setup.py

Related code:

I restored them from a previous fork from my repo, but I still can't anymore compile, maybe the structure or something else is still missing.

!!

        ********************************************************************************
        The following seems to be defined outside of `pyproject.toml`:

        `optional-dependencies = {'testing': ['setuptools', 'pytest', 'pytest-cov']}`

        According to the spec (see the link below), however, setuptools CANNOT
        consider this value unless `optional-dependencies` is listed as `dynamic`.

        https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/pyproject-toml/#declaring-project-metadata-the-project-table

        To prevent this problem, you can list `optional-dependencies` under `dynamic` or alternatively
        remove the `[project]` table from your file and rely entirely on other means of
        configuration.

Other information:

I will be happy to help and adapt the build for macOS, but I don't want to introduce instabilities to others supported platform.

thank for the great job
