Troubles with a packaged app with native module dep

Version: 21.2.0

Target: Mac/DMG

I'm having troubles packaging an Electron app that has a native dependency.

Here is my config object:

    "build": {
        "productName": "React-Explorer",
        "appId": "reactexplorer",
        "mac": {
            "gatekeeperAssess": false,
            "darkModeSupport": true,
            "icon": "icon.icns"
        },
        "win": {
            "icon": "icon.ico"
        },
        "linux": {
            "synopsis": "React-based FileManager",
            "description": "Plugin-based file explorer written with React",
            "category": "FileManager",
            "target": [
                "deb",
                "AppImage"
            ]
        },
        "files": [
            "build/**/*"
        ]
    }

The .app and .dmg are generated but when running the app, coding using the native module crashes with the following error:

gui.js:96 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined
    at Function.t.getFileName (gui.js:96)
    at t (gui.js:96)
    at Promise (gui.js:96)
    at new Promise (<anonymous>)
    at Object.<anonymous> (gui.js:96)
    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
    at gui.js:96
    at new Promise (<anonymous>)
    at r (gui.js:96)
    at Object.t.list (gui.js:96)

This crashes in the binding module which is supposed to help locate .node binaries.

Here is the build log:
