I've got the same error, can you share your solution?

[priyank-p]

@koala-koala unfortunately i did not find any solutions for this. Building unpackaged electron apps works just fine, the problem is only with dmg as far as i know.

I closed this out because i think the reason was my mac, since it was a school computer it didn't allow working with dmgs so they blocked hdiutil in some way so dmg's could not be mounted and i think that the root cause of this error.
