Same with me

[bluntspoon]

I'm also getting a weird error.
/Electron Framework: bundle format is ambiguous (could be app or framework)

[FrenchBully]

anyone find a solution?

[marceloromaomultilaser]

I have to downgrade electron-builder to 19.45.0 and electron-updater to 2.14.0:
npm install [email protected] [email protected]

[hoythan]

ran xattr -cr * at the root of my source code to remove all the crud and rebuilt and it worked.

[MutableLoss]

I've run across this a few different ways:

• various build junk (as @hoythan mentioned)
• app being built is open or is still being held by a zombie process
• trying to pack certain filetypes into the asar instead of adding to ExtraFiles or ExtraResources

For cleaning build artifacts I would suggest using xattr -cr . in your project root instead of a wildcard *, so to make sure and get all hidden directories and files as well. You'll notice the command taking much more time, and much more prone to fix the issue, if it is an artifact.
