Cannot pack macOS universal app in v25.0.0: the same architectures can't be in the same fat output file

Please give 25.0.1 a shot and lemme know how it goes! Was no longer able to reproduce with the applied changes

25.0.1 solved the issue, thanks!

@gzdunek can you share the patch you are using?

Also, (hopefully) to temporarily unblock you, you may be able to use electron-builder config option nativeRebuilder: legacy to leverage the previous app-builder-bin go binary for rebuilding native dependencies.

Here is the patch:

Well, we had troubles with that too :)
In our monorepo setup (yarn 1.x) the legacy builder didn't find the native dependency at all (in the debug mode it logs no native dependencies). Because of that, in the universal package, the dependency wasn't rebuilt for x86 arch and the app crashed in the runtime.
This seems to be a regression too, it worked fine in [email protected].

Thanks for the patch info!

I'm wondering if we should always disablePreGypCopy: true for the electron/rebuild integration. I haven't seen other reports yet for this issue, but current adoption of 25.0.0 is fairly low atm (only 624 downloads as of this moment)

Thank you for the test repo. I've opened a PR to resolve this issue since I was also able to reproduce and updated a unit test to cover the universal mac packaging with node-pty. Just updating test snapshots now
