It’s difficult to debug this because there’s not enough information to get an idea of what’s happening. It seems like it’s stalling in copying the app.

• Does this only happen on macOS hosts?
• What happens if you try to build a Linux target (electron-forge package --platform linux) ?
• What happens if you try to build a darwin target on another host platform (like Linux or Windows)?

@zlw123 Unfortunately, due to the limited amount of time of the maintainers and the limited amount of information present in your question, we cannot help debug your app at this time. Instead, you should consider using one of the community forums, as there are more people there available to answer questions.
