Electron apps outdated
Hey ! Just to let you know that your way of doing things with electron is already outdated !
There are imperative arguments to : electron-packager such as --platform=, --arch= and --version=.
That means, your source code doesn't compile anymore !

Dang! I knew that would happen but didn't think so soon. Thanks for the heads up!
The good news is everything is versioned so the example here should hopefully still work. Please let me know if it doesn't.
You should have a look a TideSDK by the way. It is way easier to be honest. And thanks fort replying

Well after a quick review of your code in this sample, this shouldn't work. I've just cloned it, try to run it using the new electron version. Well that's what i used to say, doesn't work ;)
Thanks! I added an annotation to the video indicating that electron-packager >= 4.0.0 now requires the platform, arch, and version options.
Sounds great ! But I was wondering, when I type electron-packager ./ app_name --platform=darwin --arch=x86 --version=0.27.2, the app will just launch the Electron default app... I guess I'm doing it wrong.
