Just tried this with the other 4.0.X betas. This seems to be an issue with all electron 4.0.X versions. From the output it seems like an issue with reading/writing the .plist file.

Yes - I have this problem too. I would love to know if it's a problem with electron 4.0+ or electron builder...

@audionerd You're right. The error is being thrown here where the helper app plist is read:

Got the same issues on 4.0.1 using electronuserland/builder to build my app.
Any update ?

You should use electron builder 20.31.3, it works perfectly with electron 4.0.1 !

Everything seems to be working for me on the latest 4.0.x release. Thanks for the fix! Feel free to reopen if there are still issues.
