Zulip-desktop: Build failing on OS X 10.12.4

Created on 30 Mar 2017 · 3Comments · Source: zulip/zulip-desktop

I'm able to run the app successfully via npm start but running npm run dist to build a .dmg fails.

OS: OS X 10.12.4
node.js version: 6.10.1
npm version: 3.10.10

Steps to reproduce:

clone repo
run npm install
run npm run dist
