ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE - macOS 10.13.6

With the last version of electron builder create a windows NSIS installer or portable app is impossible from macOS 10.13.6 After some research, the last version that seems working is 21.2.0 but when the electron:build command is given from vue ui or from cli, also after a downgrade of electro builder, the used version is the latest. This will produce this error:

Is possible to fix this problem?

You can try using yarn resolutions to downgrade electron-builder manually, since it seems as if that might fix it.

For anyone stumbling with this error, for me on Windows, I fixed the problem by specifying an icon path inside build configs.
