Packaging Electron v5+ with sandbox (AppImage)

See original GitHub issue

Version: 21.2.0

Target: AppImage

See: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/3872

This issue was closed, but the solution only fixes the problem for .deb builds. AppImages are still broken by default, and there’s currently no solution (other than asking people to manually patch their AppImage). Is there any recommended course of action for broken AppImage releases?

Thanks!
