Exact same issue with template webpack-typescript.
Trying to build for Linux ARM64.

I suspect the reason is the bump from dependency @electron/asar v3.2.10 to 3.2.11
Temporary fix is to add these lines to package.json

    "overrides": {
        "@electron-forge/cli" : {
            "@electron-forge/core" : {
                "@electron/packager": {
                    "@electron/asar": "3.2.10"
                }
            }
        }
    }

Got the fix here @bdlr2
electron/asar#325

This can be resolved by upgrading electron/asar in the dependency tree 🙇
