I created my first Electron Application and I'm ready to publish it. I was able to export it for these two platforms with no errors:
But when I export it for MacOS, the test.app
doesn't work.
I'm using MacOS HighSierra and I tested everything I could think of, but couldn't get my app to work on MacOS.
I'm not sure if I have to convert it to a dmg
file before executing it, so I tested converting my app to .dmg
using this guide:
https://kb.parallels.com/en/123895
But when I run the dmg
and try to install the app, I get same errors again. I really tried everything but got no luck. I hope there is someone here that knows how to get it exported for MacOS.
To export the app I used the electron-packager
and this is my package.json
{
"name": "test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "app.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "electron .",
"package-mac": "electron-packager . --overwrite --platform=darwin --arch=x64 --icon=assets/icons/mac/icon.icns --prune=true --out=release-builds --app-copyright=\"test",
"package-win": "electron-packager . test --overwrite --asar=true --platform=win32 --arch=ia32 --icon=assets/icons/win/icon.ico --prune=true --out=release-builds --version-string.CompanyName=CE --version-string.FileDescription=CE --version-string.ProductName=\"test\" --app-copyright=\"test\"",
"package-linux": "electron-packager . test --overwrite --asar=true --platform=linux --arch=x64 --icon=assets/icons/png/icon.png --prune=true --out=release-builds --app-copyright=\"test"
},
"dependencies": {},
"devDependencies": {
"electron": "1.8.4",
"electron-packager": "^9.0.1"
}
}
And this is my Error Log when I try to run the test.app
file on the Mac, that I had exported from Electron:

If the source code is running properly with npm start
on mac machine then it is an electron-packager issue. I would suggest you to try to make a build using electron-builder .
Note: You will need a mac machine to make a .dmg build.
See the configuration of zulip/zulip-electron
I was facing the crash issue repeatedly when launching an app on Mac .
The reason for the crash turned out to be permissions issue on some of the Electron framework folders. The folders had 744 permission and root
as owner, because of which the logged in user was not able to execute the framework files . Changing the permission to 755 for the folder fixed the issue for me.
