This is due to an upstream issue with hdiutil interaction with sparse files (apparently on macOS 14) that can be observed thus:

➜ mkdir sparse
➜ dd if=/dev/zero of=sparse/big bs=1 count=0 seek=10000000
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.000014 secs (0 bytes/sec)
➜  hdiutil create -srcFolder sparse sparse.dmg
....could not access /Volumes/sparse/big - No space left on device

hdiutil: create failed - No space left on device
➜  mkdir notsparse
➜  cp -S sparse/big notsparse
➜  hdiutil create -srcFolder notsparse notsparse.dmg
............................................................

It would be nice if electron-builder could override with the correct -size for the initial hdiutil create: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/088523652934b87419c15c068459627dcf9a0535/packages/dmg-builder/src/dmg.ts#L200

Or at least allow -size to be manually set.
