Sign failed: Cannot read property 'nodeName' of null

[steffanhalv]

I get this error when I try to sign app, even with no arguments:

cmd

electron-osx-sign "dist/mas-dev/electron-quick-start.app" --platform=mas --type=development --identity="[email protected] (XXX)" --entitlements="entitlements.mas.plist" --provisioning-profile="development.provisionprofile" --hardened-runtime

or

electron-osx-sign "dist/mas-dev/electron-quick-start.app" --platform=mas --type=development

returns

Sign failed:
Cannot read property 'nodeName' of null

Project copied from here with only electron-builder installed in addition:

Looks like this was a problem caused by electron-builder ref electron-userland/electron-builder#4048

[lanistor]

Remove com.apple.security.app-sandbox from your entitlements' file. electron-userland/electron-builder/4048/511095310

Remove com.apple.security.app-sandbox from your entitlements' file. electron-userland/electron-builder/4048/511095310

Sanbox is required for the mac app store

Yeah, it's.
I haven't resolved it. I'm facing crash problem with mas and mas-dev build target, it's really hard to resolve: electron-userland/electron-builder#4834
