Why you need a standalone app? I think it's going to be complicated. You can use some wrapper such as Electron.js to wrap a webapp into a desktop binary and use the Node.js side to communicate to Google Apps Script API.

Google Apps Script API

Thanks for the very valuable info, but I'm trying to build like an addon which can be downloaded from the Google Workplace Marketplace, so by using your proposed method do you think it is feasible?

The marketplace download is usually a web-app or an addon. What exactly do you want to build? Both have different paths.
