Hello,
I have created a standalone app with the compiler on a windows computer. When I tried to open the .exe file with macOS it display error message that Windows app are not supported in macOS. Is there a way around?

When you compile the app, you get to say for what platform you want to compile it, see attached screenshot. So, yes, you can use a Windows machine to create a compiled app to run on MacOS or Linux (but an app compiled for one platform cannot run on another platform).
Best,
Jeff

it is not possible because windows and mac os both are different platforms, and they are not compatible to each other,in order to run your program in mac os, you have to compile it on mac.

No, the latest reply is not correct. You can compile for all supported platforms, including macOS, from Windows, as already stated in an earlier reply.
