build mac on ubuntu16

[msi008]

• Version: 22.7.0

• Electron Version: 8.3.4
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly):

• Target: mac dmg

It always fails to build MAC installation package in Ubuntu environment,

I want to generate the DMG installation package and command electron-builder -m

The error information is as follows：

⨯ Cannot cleanup:

How can I solve it gracefully

[baruchvlz]

As far as I know, Mac builds can only be built in Mac.

lol yeah the solution is to have a mac man. Or get a sketchy vm setup. If you configure things through trial and error you should be able to get a build running on github actions as it has actual mac runners available. Although then how do you test the install....

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
