Miroslav,
I built a fresh meta-gtk-osx-gtk3 with macOS version min set to 10.12, symlinked $PREFIX/inst to $PREFIX/Resources and copied notecore-bin to $PREFIX/MacOS/notecore so that it would find my libraries with @executable_path/../Resources, then ran notecore from a jhbuild shell. It displayed correctly on both Retina and not. That tells me that whatever is messed up it isn't Gtk.
There seems to be a lot of extraneous stuff in your bundle as well, your launcher-script looks rather haphazardly ported from a Gtk2 one, and libspell is in the wrong place. So start off with a fresh build of meta-gtk-osx-gtk3 in an empty folder starting with bootstrap-gtk-osx and for safety libspell too. While the build is going on clean up your bundle file so that only the libraries and other folders that you need are installed and redo your launcher script based on gtk-mac-bundler/examples/gtk3-launcher.sh.
Some other things that need addressing: You seem not to have updated your use of gtk-mac-integration for Gtk3: It doesn't work, the menu bar is on the window instead of at the top of the screen. The Gtk-supplied icons aren't visible, perhaps you're trying to use the GTK_STOCK icons that were deprecated in Gtk-3.0.0 and removed somewhere around Gtk 3.10. I thought at first you'd gotten tripped up with the removal of the deprecated stock names in Adwaita-42, but they don't work with Adwaita-3.38 either.
Once you've got a clean bundle I'll test it for you, but you might want to get the Additional Tools for Xcode 13 from
https://developer.apple.com/downloads. It includes Quartz Debug that might enable you to fake retina resolution if your MBA has enough GPU to support it.
Regards,
John Ralls

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4342#note_1299321 until now. I think that’s a separate issue from the Monterey absolute value change that screwed up flipping the coordinate system. His issue appears similar to yours and he worked around it by removing the scaling line,https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/3.24.33/gdk/quartz/gdkwindow-quartz.c#L194 , altogether. I’m not sure why that would be necessary for you and him and not for anybody else. That line has been there for 6 years, having been introduced in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/3f077ec36f4a59e803c9f4509996269c862e04af. Note that the scale division in the CTM is countered by scaling the size of the Cairo surface at

Universal builds definitely don't work from the command line, I did try that. I can also say that I haven't seen any significant behavior differences between running Intel builds with Rosetta2 and native builds on M1s, so I think it's unlikely that that's the problem. The Xcode version shouldn't matter either.
