Hi! I'm using electron-builder to package my application on MacOS. When I run electron:build, the process always stopped at the signing step, the error messages are as follows:

It seems to be related to language files, but I don't know what caused this error, could you please help me?

Sincerely hope for your reply, Thanks!

Hello, did you manage to solve this problem?

I am getting the exact same message. Thanks

I still have this error!!

electron-builder uses @electron/osx-sign under the hood to work with codesign, and this error seems to be originating from there.

As a workaround, if you're not looking/able to support multiple languages, you can decrease your electron app size by only keeping the locales you need via config var electronLanguages: string[]
