Quasar Electron build not working on M1 mac mini with arm64 architecture

I have a Quasar/Electron project and simply trying to build the app via yarn build (which equals to quasar build -m electron in package.json). Previous to my M1 Mac mini upgrade I used to get the following folder structure:

/dist/electron/MyApp-darwin-x86
/dist/electron/UnPackaged

Now I'm just getting:

/dist/electron/UnPackaged

I've tried running it with all sorts of flags/configurations but just can't seem to figure out how to build this on the new Mac. Has anyone else had similar issues?

I have the following dependencies:

Solution

  • OK well, I fixed it (sort of).

    I basically switched from electron-packager to electron-builder and had to manually update the dmg-builder npm package to: 22.10.3 (latest package on 12/14/20)

    Now after building I get my /dist/electron/Packaged folder as expected:
