Support advanced version of electron.

[v2018z]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

I found that the higher version of electron could not be used because of some API changes and chrome security policy problems. My solutions are as follows:

Today I used patch-package to patch devtron@1.4.0 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

hi @v2018z ,I have configured the following according to your suggestion,but also can not see devtron panel.

require('update-electron-app')({
  logger: require('electron-log')
})
const path = require('path')
const glob = require('glob')
const {app, BrowserWindow,session} = require('electron')
const debug = /--debug/.test(process.argv[2])
if (process.mas) app.setName('Electron APIs')
let mainWindow = null
function initialize () {
  makeSingleInstance()
  loadDemos()
  function createWindow () {
    const windowOptions = {
      width: 1080,
      minWidth: 680,
      height: 840,
      title: app.getName(),
      webPreferences: {
        nodeIntegration: true
      }
    }
    if (process.platform === 'linux') {
      windowOptions.icon = path.join(__dirname, '/assets/app-icon/png/512.png')
    }
    mainWindow = new BrowserWindow(windowOptions)
    mainWindow.loadURL(path.join('file://', __dirname, '/index.html'))
    // 使用 npm run dev
    if (debug) {
      mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()
      mainWindow.maximize()
      require('devtron').install(session)
    }
    mainWindow.on('closed', () => {
      mainWindow = null
    })
  }
  app.on('ready', () => {
    createWindow()
  })
  app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
    if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
      app.quit()
    }
  })
  app.on('activate', () => {
    if (mainWindow === null) {
      createWindow()
    }
  })
}
initialize()
