Successfully built my angular1 app as an electron app. I can run it using electron-prebuilt, however, when I launch the installed dmg, the app fails immediately.

my app-level package.json which specifies a main.js:

my main.js just in case it helps: [EDIT with correct main.js]
var app = require('app'); // Module to control application life.
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window'); // Module to create native browser window.
// Report crashes to our server.

// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
app.on('ready', function() {
// Create the browser window.
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 700});

mainWindow.loadURL('file://' + __dirname + '/index.html');
// Emitted when the window is closed.

// Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
// in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
// when you should delete the corresponding element.

I launched Mac Finder > my app > Contents > Resources
to see if app.asar was an inspectable but its a binary file:
app.asar: application/octet-stream; charset=binary
Any help or pointing in the right directions of resources is much appreciated.
