Unfortunately, I do not own a mac so I'm unable to investigate this sorry.

If you run this script in Python, does it lead to the same issue?

from tkinter import Tk
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename

root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
root.wm_attributes('-topmost', 1)
file_path = askopenfilename(parent=root)
root.update()
print(file_path)
