Built static assets are missing in build *.app

See original GitHub issue

Version: 5.23.2
Target: macos

I’m using single package.json project structure and building app to ./dist folder. Once packaged, ./dist folder is ignored and missed in final executable *.app. I guess built resources are ignored internally. Is there are any way to avoid this?

My directories setup is:

  "directories": {
    "buildResources": "dist",
    "output": "release"
  }

My icon.icns were bundled with app itself to dist directory.

And that’s is very bad, because it adds unnecessary weight.

I wish this to be in the docs. What do you think?

+100. I dream about it. #357

What is the point of buildResources then?

buildResources directory contains resources required to build your app in a packaged or distributable form — icons, installer templates, entitlements and so on. It is not directory for app resources.
