Title says it all. I'm running yarn package defined as:
"package": "ts-node ./.erb/scripts/clean.js dist && npm run build && electron-builder build --publish never" (from .erb)

I package the app, and open it on my computer just fine. I send it to my friend, and I get the following error (screenshot attached)

Does nayone know what is going on?

You need to sign it i think

How do I do that?

#

and do I need that for development too?

mostly for distribution

Code Signing | Electron

Code signing is a security technology that you use to certify that an app was created by you.

Is there a way to get around this issue until I'm ready to distribute?

#

Also, based on this link I'm getting a different error, no?

#

It's not cannot be verified. It's damaged
