Hmm, I wonder if maybe hdiutil doesn't like 酷狗音乐 in the filename, could you try naming it something else, using only ascii characters, and see if that works?

I'm having a similar problem, however I'm using all ascii characters, with no spaces in the filenames. I can see the .dmg created in /var/folders and then deleted. Is there a way to halt the progress before step 19/20?

I suddenly started having this problem too. The fix for me was to change where I was trying to put the generated dmg. I was originally generating it on the desktop, which failed exactly as described about. However, when I did the following it worked:

appdmg myApp.json myApp.dmg

I'm having this issue as well, using create-dmg (a tool that wraps appdmg):

$ create-dmg Subtitle\ Edit\ Launcher.app
✖ Error: Command failed: hdiutil convert /var/folders/s2/dvvmm0cj7jsbzdm_7z2hf58c0000gn/T/6HV25A0.dmg -format ULFO -imagekey zlib-level=9 -o Subtitle-Edit-Launcher-1.0.dmg

Usage:  hdiutil convert -format <format> -o <outfile> [options] <image>
    hdiutil convert -help

None of the fixes/workarounds described here have worked for me. I even tried running chmod -R 777 . in the directory I'm trying to build the DMG in, to no avail. My app has no weird characters, it's just "Subtitle Edit Launcher.app". FYI, I'm on OS X 10.10.5, and you can find the json that create-dmg passes to appdmg over here.

FWIW I started getting this after it had been working fine and thinking that it may have been related to relative paths I used full paths but in the end it was an incorrect path that I had specified - so if the path specified doesn't exist an Invalid Argument error will occur. This may account for some occasions when this error is encountered.

iAnish commented 6 years ago

I had the exact same issue. my output directory parameter was "osx" and it was non-existant. After I created that directory and rerun the commands, the dmg was created without issues

Note: I was ran into this issue while trying to create a electronjs based app mac installer
