Releasing Cryptr

The script npm run dist is provided which should take care of most of the release needs. However, there are issues, depending on what platform you are releasing from.

For Mac

When running on Mac OS Catalina, modify package.json to be

"dist": "electron-builder -m --x64"

and run npm run dist. This will only build the release for Mac OS.

Linux and Windows

Follow the guide at https://www.electron.build/multi-platform-build#build-electron-app-using-docker-on-a-local-machine to release using Docker on a Mac.

TL;DR: Modify package.json to be

"dist": "electron-builder -wl --x64"

then

$ docker run --rm -ti \
 --env-file <(env | grep -iE 'DEBUG|NODE_|ELECTRON_|YARN_|NPM_|CI|CIRCLE|TRAVIS_TAG|TRAVIS|TRAVIS_REPO_|TRAVIS_BUILD_|TRAVIS_BRANCH|TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST_|APPVEYOR_|CSC_|GH_|GITHUB_|BT_|AWS_|STRIP|BUILD_') \
 --env ELECTRON_CACHE="/root/.cache/electron" \
 --env ELECTRON_BUILDER_CACHE="/root/.cache/electron-builder" \

 -v ${PWD##*/}-node-modules:/project/node_modules \
 -v ~/.cache/electron:/root/.cache/electron \
 -v ~/.cache/electron-builder:/root/.cache/electron-builder \
 electronuserland/builder:wine

$ yarn dist

This will build releases for Linux and Windows.
