Error: Could not get code signature for running application

[yeskunall]

Hey 👋

As you can see, the binary crashes because you are using the autoUpdater API on a non-codesigned application.

Maybe there's a few steps missing in the README? 😅

Hey, my bad.

Can you try this?

If you have issues in the codesign step when running yarn run dist on macOS, you can temporarily disable code signing locally by setting export CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false for the current terminal session.

All right @bukinoshita, what you suggested should have worked, but I'm still getting the same error, although it does emit a message saying CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY was disabled. So I'm not sure what's going on there. I'll investigate a bit more.

I had a question of my own tho, that came up by playing around with macOS yesterday (I recently switched over to macOS, so it's all a bit new to me 😅): any reason why a binary needs to be created before we can test the app in development?

[bukinoshita]

If you want to just run locally you can run yarn start and it should open the app. yarn dist you are actually creating the binaries.

@yeskunall were you able to run?

I can run yarn start, so I can set up a dev workflow, but setting that flag to false didn't seem to work for me. I'm gonna close this until I can come back to you with more on this. Thanks @bukinoshita 💖
