I'm getting this error while trying to build my electron app using electron-builder on Mac with code signing. Identity is properly set on keychain.

Error: Command failed: codesign --sign Company Name --force /Users/nterms/Projects/my-app/dist/mac/MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework

However the building smoothly goes on the same app when packaging without code signing.

I'm on a Mac with OSX El Captain (10.11.6) and XCode is updated to the latest version.

electron-prebuilt module must be in the devDependencies.

@develar electron-prebuilt is there in devDependencies. anything else I can look for to solve the issue?

[develar]

I see app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/Electron.app in your log. So, it is in the production dependencies. Please check

Thanks a lot @develar. It worked!
