[ocavue]

After updating electron from v17.3.0 to v18.0.0, electron-builder raises the following error when I try to build a universal mac build:

According to electron/electron#33267, we need to update @electron/universal to v1.2.1 to fix this issue.

Any known workarounds for this, or should I revert to electron v17 for now?

[ArmelChesnais]

@mayfield if you're using yarn, you can use resolutions in your package.json:

  "resolutions": {
    "@electron/universal": "^1.2.1"
  },

And install that package in your own devDependencies

"devDependencies": {
   [...]
   "@electron/universal": "^1.2.1",
   [...]

This will force all dependencies to use that version.
You will have to remove it once it's been addressed by electron-builder to avoid any weird behaviours in the future, but this should help in the meantime as a temporary band-aid.

@ArmelChesnais Thanks for this reminder! I was able to upgrade to v18 and now universal build is successful. ✨
