I am experiencing the same issues. Have tried on multiple websites.

Same issue with me

I had this issue in MacOS Mojave. I manage to solve it by uninstalling nativefier. Then, I updated my brew packages (which may have updated npm), then I updated my npm pacakges by running
npm -g update
And finally I reinstalled nativefier. Hope this is useful.

I also had the issue described by @kerketta

I followed the steps outlined by @psa-anddev but then got
_Uncaught Exception:
Error: Image could not be created from /Users/....app/Contents/Resources/app/icon.png
at Object.createMainWindow (/Users/....app/Contents/Resources/app/lib/webpack:/src/components/mainWindow.ts:105:22)
at App. (/Users/....app/Contents/Resources/app/lib/webpack:/src/main.ts:149:18)
at App.emit (events.js:223:5)_

I create the icon.png file inside the app bundle Contents/Resources/app/ and now it launches fine

Hi everybody. If @SSStechnical is right and seeing these two issues popped up at the same time, this issue is correlated to https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/992 , which I fixed with Nativefier 9.1.0.

With that, closing, please shout if I'm wrong and the issue persists in 9.1.0, I will re-open the issue and give it a second look. Thanks!

@ronjouch 👋 I think this issues still exists:

I also get:

Uncaught Exception:

Sometimes on some apps.

@aubreypwd when does this happen? On startup? On clicking the dock? A precise description, or screencast, would be extra helpful.

[aubreypwd]

Funnily enough after a restart and re-running it appears to be working again? I wonder if some cached version of Electron was the issue? Essentially I had checked out the latest version, made a new app and I was getting the above issues. I downgraded and tried again to get the same errors, then upgraded back and it persisted. But over the weekend I had restarted my machine and I opened the app and it worked! Not sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@aubreypwd alright, thanks for responding 🙂. Closing again, if it happens again please shout with as much details as possible (steps to reproduce, screenshots/screencasts, logs, all the things). I'd bet it will happen again, though, I don't see why the rebuild/restart would have fixed it. Time will tell!

MOST IMPORTANT THING: I fixed your kamoji! On github you need to ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ else you break its left arm 😱
