enforceMacOSAppLocation causing failure on windowsClosedIssue

After upgrading to electron 39 windows users are seeing I'm assuming this is from electron utils enforceMacOSAppLocation and https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-util/blob/main/source/main/enforce-macos-app-location.ts#L21 Is the first if statement that it's on mac not catching and exiting early? if (isDev ?? !is.macos) { return; } I've added and verified it's still win32 on windows so I don't know how isMac is not false. Do I need to be doing something differently or does the utility need to update?

The final solution was to use the webpack-node-externals plugin: . This is the correct way to solve the problem. Simply copy this code into . Please fix this.
