Bug: Electron window is shown after computer restart on macOS

[ricoberger]

Hi, when I restart my MacBook and select the reopen windows option it doesn't start the application and shows an Electron window instead.

1. Build the demo application from https://github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-demo
2. Move the .app file to the applications directory and open the app
3. Restart macOS and select Reopen windows when logging back in

Result: It shows and window of Electron instead of the demo application.

This issue was reported here kubenav/kubenav#257 with a screenshot of what is shown after restart (looks similar for the demo application):

It looks like it doesn't run the original parent process:

Processes before the restart:

Process after the restart:

I tested this with Electron 7.x and 9.x. I'm using the following version of go-astilectron:

github.com/asticode/go-astikit v0.9.1
github.com/asticode/go-astilectron v0.18.0
github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-bootstrap v0.4.0
github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-bundler v0.7.2

Do you have an idea what the problem could be?

@ricoberger this is linked to this Windows 10 Jumplist bug. I don't have a solution for this as of now.
