Packaging

To package apps for the local platform:

npm run package

The packaged app will be inside the release directory.

To package apps with options:

npm run package -- --[option]
# Example: npm run package -- --mac

Debugging Production Builds​

You can debug your production build with devtools by simply setting the DEBUG_PROD env variable

npx cross-env DEBUG_PROD=true npm run package

Notarizing​

To notarize your macOS app, you will need to set the following environment variables:

  • APPLE_ID - Your Apple ID
  • APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD - Your Apple ID password

In package.json -> build -> mac the teamId key needs to be set:

"notarize": {
  "teamId": "YOUR_TEAM_ID"
}

This above config will automatically get electron-builder to notarize the build.
