Two native modules have the same architectures (x86_64) and can't be in the same fat output file error

• Electron-Builder Version: 23.5.1

• Node Version: v16.17.0

• Electron Version:20.0.2
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: MacOS universal

I'm trying to package my app with a npm package (active-win) that includes a native universal module, but I get the following error:

node_modules/active-win have the same architectures (x86_64) and can't be in the same fat output file

Looking around, it seems this has been addressed in @electron/universal's latest version, which electron-builder doesn't use yet. Can you update the dependency please?

x64ArchFiles is already supported in electron-builder: https://www.electron.build/configuration/mac

@harlandjp were you able to get it to work with x64ArchFiles? I tried this flag yet builder still tries to bundle it

Running in to the same issue. I am not able to use the flag cause electron builder 23.6.0 support it but it references an older version of electron universal. Are there any workarounds? We can't use an alpha build.

[mmaietta]

Alpha build should be promoted to regular in the near future.

My main concern (and reason for long alpha cycle) was regarding some changes to electron-updater, specifically changes that added rpm/deb auto-update support - it consolidated spawn logic that is also used by AppImages and NSIS. Latest alpha release resolves related electron-updater issue: #7393

Unfortunately, due to the way changesets work, both electron-updater and electron-builder alpha states are "linked"

@mmaietta any update on promoting the alpha build to production?

[mmaietta]

Out of curiosity, 24.4.0 is next, not specifically latest tag. Do you need it as latest?

Can bump it to latest easily, I honestly forgot lost track of this request

Done
