GUI Crashes on macOS Due to Missing Bluetooth Usage Description in Info.plist

[Kennisoan]

Description:
I'm encountering a crash when running my GUI on macOS 14.2. The error message indicates that the app is attempting to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description in the Info.plist file. Specifically, the crash occurs because the NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription key is missing, which is required by macOS for apps that use Bluetooth.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run the GUI on macOS 14.2 (Sonoma).
2. Observe the crash with the error message related to missing privacy-sensitive data usage description.

What I've Tried:

• Attempted to locate and modify the Info.plist file within my Python environment, but the file does not seem to exist in the typical locations, especially within a Poetry-managed virtual environment.
• Considered packaging the app with pyinstaller or py2app, but I would prefer a solution that allows the app to run directly during development.
