You don’t need to use two-package.json project structure anymore (since 8). Sample app https://github.com/develar/onshape-desktop-shell is switched to one-package.json structure.

So should i understand that i still need to use electron-rebuild?

You don’t need to use electron-rebuild.

I ended up having an error about a bindings not beeing built for my electron version.

"postinstall": "install-app-deps" must be in the dev (root) package.json . Your usage is correct.
You should not call cd app && npm install --production — it is error, please remove it. install-app-deps is enough.

I recommend you to use one-package.json structure (using electron-builder >= 8.5.3). In this case you just use script "postinstall": "install-app-deps" and no more puzzle “dev vs app package.json”.
