FSevent binaries not found

See original GitHub issue

Version: 20.38.5

Target: macOS

When trying to build the binaries, there is an attempt to download the file https://fsevents-binaries.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1.2.7/fse-v1.2.7-electron-v4.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz . However, a 404 error is thrown since the file does not exist. I also tried to download it manually, but it seems like it does not exist at all.

This is the stacktrace:


  • electron-builder version=20.38.5
  • loaded configuration file=package.json ("build" field)
