App giving "cant open .app because classic environment is not supported" on other macs but works fine on my own [closed]

I have written an app that is a bash script, the whole thing is a bash script, and it calls a few osascripts, also for user input mostly, it works awesome on my computer, and so I used platypus to turn the script into an app so that I could send it to a friend, well when he tries to open it, it says you can't open the application ** because the classic environment is no longer supported: http://www.imgur.com/ze0ya4B.png

Any Mac running bash should be able to at least run through right? Could it be something with osascripts? I can't find anything in forums where someone has the same problem and solves it.

Tl;Dr: bash script put through platypus, and new .app file gives error when another Mac tries to open it.

I am running mountain lion so my macbook should not support the classic environment either, what could be making other computers think that there is something from a classic environment. If you think it would help I can upload my source code.

I have to assume that the error I was getting was not very relative to any of the information I gave. It turns out you can't just email a .app file and expect it to come out in tact on the other side. I zipped the app in a folder and it works fine. Incase anyone comes across this same problem, I thought I'd post my situation... I hope this helps someone at some point because I was sure bashing my head against a desk.
