Electron-builder: Is Electron Builder Dead?

[neilrees]

There seems to have been a sudden halt to commits, the CI build is broken, and there are an increasing number of PRs?

I noticed the same. There is no new build from long time and there is no response for any critical issues.
I am generating ZIP artifact and it get getting corrupted app and I opened that defect long time ago but no response.

[JCBsystem]

so what is a good alternative to Electron Builder ?

[poiru]

@JCBsystem We switched to using electron-packager, electron-installer-windows, electron-osx-sign, electron-notarize, and electron-rebuild directly. Took me a day to switch over, but the result works very well without all the electron-builder magic.

[develar]

All valid pull requests merged, sorry for delay.

[pashvin]

@develar Should we expect a new build soon? I am waiting for the fix on mac zip artifact (app inside zip is not running after extracting zip). I am waiting for that fix since last release. It was working before but broke in last release.

Also waiting on a new npm build for the new snap autostart feature. Is there something holding up the new build that we can maybe help out with?
