Mac quit unexpectedly

• Electron-Builder: 20.28.4 and 20.29.0
• Electron-Updater: 3.1.3 and 3.1.5
• Target: Mac

I’m getting user reports of people on various mac versions of the electron app quitting unexpectedly. I thought an update to Electron would fix these issues, but they still persist. This report below is from Mojave 10.14, another reported issue was from High Sierra

Not related to this issue, but if you change the name of the application (in my case, using the builder programmatically), you also need to change the appName field in package.json by overriding the value with config.extraMetadata.productName. This seems simple, but if you have any invalid characters in your name (I had a /), the build process sanitizes those out of the app name, but they remain in the appName field. This causes the app to instant-crash when opened, even though the build process seems fine.

Just leaving my experience here in case someone else finds this and is doing the same thing I am.

I’m getting this when quitting the app. It quits, and then I get the “quit unexpectedly” error.
