Description

For some reason CHIRP daily build was not able to load the GTK libraries as a result macapp is not initialised, causing a bug in chirp/chirp/ui/mainapp.py:

I too have this issue on one of my Macs. Using patch resolved the startup issue.
I've also tested this patch with the machine didn't have the startup issue, and it too ran fine.
Only thing I can think of is that I do have brew python 2.7.17 on one that had the issue, and 2.7.15 on the one that didnt have an issue. But I thought the unified package has it's own self contained environment?

Please merge this patch with the main branch for future releases, thanks.
