Maybe I can help, as a cranky old Mac developer. GUI applications
launched on the Mac do not inherit environment variables from shell
config files. As a consequence, Mac applications that use TeX need the
full path to a binary (such as pdflatex), or need some way for users to
specify where the TeX install is located so you can add it to the PATH.

You can have a user test this by launching your application from
Terminal (e.g., /Applications/MyProgram.app/Contents/MacOS/MyProgram),
where it *will* inherit the PATH and other variables set in the shell.
If that fixes the problem, you should have a good idea how to proceed.
