Failed to load SDL library when running game on Mac

Hi all,

Thanks to some help from Kimimaru, I've been able to build my game to LInux using Mono's mkbundle and this tutorial: https://dotnetcoretutorials.com/2018/03/22/bundling-mono-with-a-net-executable-using-mkbundle-on-windows/

Unfortunately, I've come across an exception I haven't been able to fix on the Macbook we're using for testing.

I'm using the Monogame 3.7 Release.

I've tried mkbundling the game with both mono-5.16.0-osx-10.7-x64 and mono-5.16.0-osx-10.7-x64 with the same results. Near as I can tell from the error it's having trouble loading libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib, which is the Mac-specific replacement for SDL2.dll, but that's present and accounted for in the same folder as the executable.

What am I missing?

Exception follows:
