This is some really great advice! Thanks!

I'm still confused about why making an executable isn't working. Am I doing 
something wrong?
Even if I choose the framework option for *this* project (it seems like a 
really helpful thing) 
I'd like to be able to distribute, for example, `.app` "executables" to 
MacOS users who
just want stock configuration, etc...
The existence of an `.app` executables is helpful in other ways, as well. 
For example,
starting an application at startup, icons, etc...
