app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient doesn’t work on Linux .AppImage
See original GitHub issue- electon-builder: 20.44.4 and tried 21.0.13
- electon-updater: 4.0.14 and tried 4.1.2
- Target:
linux(.AppImage,Ubuntu)
app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient works for macOS and Windows, but not for Linux, at least when using .AppImage, which is the only one I use.
The custom protocol / schema is never registered and app.isDefaultProtocolClient will always return false.

The bug is still present in electron@6.0.9 and electron-builder@21.2.0

childProcess.exec('xdg-mime default myApp.desktop x-scheme-handler/myapp')
