Steps to reproduce:

  • on a Linux machine, follow the instructions on README to either build or start with npm
    • example npm start

Expected result:

  • an icon in the system tray appears

Actual result:

  • the startup fails due to the use of macOS exclusive electron APIs:
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
TypeError: systemPreferences.askForMediaAccess is not a function
