We are using pnpm (8.15.3)

Hmmm, we never updated app-builder-bin between those versions and that's what pulls the electron-builder-binaries (such as appimage-12.0.1

I'm not seeing any immediately obvious changes in the diff either https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/compare/v24.9.1...v24.12.0

Is this issue 100% reproducible for you? It's not appearing in our unit tests either

Additional Information

CI fails when snap + AppImage builds are enabled.

[cmdcolin]

what was the resolution to this? I don't currently want to setup snapcraft but want to publish snap files

[mmaietta]

How would you bundle a snap distributable but not set up snapcraft? That seems like mutually exclusive

[cmdcolin]

I am not really sure. I just had a setup that "worked" and was creating and releasing .snap files to github but then it stopped working after a electron-builder version upgrade similar to what @JellyBrick had experienced. my understanding is using snapcraft and such would release to the snap store? i just removed snap builds for now in our project...it's pretty low usage
