Is there someone working to update the AppKit issues

There's a pip module called AppKit that has no relation to PyObjC that, if installed, would cause this issue. If you haven't solved it already (or for others who come across this issue in the future), uninstall AppKit and force reinstall PyObjC-core, i.e.:
pip uninstall AppKit
then
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall PyObjC PyObjC-core

The comment above (#200 (comment)) solved this for me.
