I am not using auto update. But the zip that is created when I build.

If we see the build process as two parts:

Build the app (for mac)
Package the app for distribution (in this case zip)

Step 1 works, but step 2 fails.

This screenshot show what works and the zip that that breaks the app: screenshot-2018-11-13-08 02 03
