@nklayman I just updated to Catalina and i’m facing this same issue. I did what you suggested but could not get it to work. @jie did you manage to resolve this issue?

@ukmarn I ended up building my app on a Windows pc. Based on what I found - this error is due to Catalina dropping support for 32 bit apps (like wine which was used to create the windows installers)
