[Bug]: Unhandled exception when running native:serve

[Meyfarth]

What happened?

When running the php artisan native:serve command, it returns an unhandled exception when calling php.

I see an electron app starting in the dock, but when I click on it, only the default menu appears on top, I thought a window should appear.

Please note that I'm used to Symfony and never developed in Laravel 🙂

Thanks for your help 🙏

How to reproduce the bug

When I run the native:serve command, I see this error:

Notes

I first had the missing resources, for which I found a workaround in the issues.
Then I also tried to move the local php executable into the vendor/bin, without more success.
