Hello, thanks for sharing. Did you run into a problem where it threw an exception saying tmp.node is not a valid win32 application? I packaged my application using electron-packager, everything works fine in my windows 10. But exception is being thrown in another windows 10 machine. The two machines have same OS, and both are 64 bit. It already took me a couple of days to figure out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello Jeet, Please make a video or assist me in demonstrating how to publish the release notes and changelog using Electron Builder and the GitHub service.
I created a CI/CD pipeline, automated release management, and simultaneous release of release notes. But I also want to simultaneously publish the changelog.
Thanks in advance 🙂.

Sir, can you make a video for Mac as well? because for MacBook. When I extracted the release after that there were no files just was electron app. Then I have copy and paste my complete project as you mentioned in the extracted folder but my app did not run in the release. Also, acknowledge me which tool should I use to make a package like one folder?
