Devtools are no longer working since Electron 7

See original GitHub issue

Issue

Clicking the Redux tab inside Chrome Devtools in an Electron 7 app throws the following error: [15656:1027/154530.726:ERROR:CONSOLE(2153)] "Uncaught Error: Connect to unknown extension [object Object]", source: electron/js2c/sandbox_bundle.js (2153) This didn´t happen before Electron 7. To install the extention, electron-devtools-installer is used.

Reproduction steps

  1. git clone https://github.com/TomTomB/electron-ngrx-redux-issue.git
  2. Run npm i && npm start
  3. Inside Chrome Devtools click the Redux tab
  4. Look inside your console
