First, thanks for mentioning zipapp, this is the first I've heard
of zip apps in Python. So a new learning experience for me. But
that in turn means I have no real experience of using the tool(yet).

However, from my brief readings it seems like it just zips all your
python files together and adds a main.py to start the app running.

You mention your app having buttons with images? Is this in a GUI?
If so the solution will depend on which GUI you are using. Can you
run your application with images without zipapp? If so it should
work in zipapp provided the images are included in the pyz file.

But as I say, I have not used zipapp in anger, so cannot be certain.
