With `contextIsolation` enabled by default in Electron 12, the Getting Started Guide no longer works as it is written. In order for the basic example to display values from `process.versions`, we need to add a `preload.js` to the example.

Description of Change
With
contextIsolation
enabled by default in Electron 12, the Getting Started Guide no longer works as it is written. In order for the basic example to display values fromprocess.versions
, this change adds apreload.js
to the example.Adding a preload script does increase the complexity of the "hello world" example, but setting
contextIsolation: false
in the example code seemed like a less ideal solution since it encourages insecure practicesChecklist
