'Why does electron-builder include my whole project folder in app.asar?
When I extract the app.asar inside the builded Mac app with:
npx asar extract app.asar destfolder
I can see that it includes mostly everything which is in my project folder.
How can I exclude the files from app.asar?
This are parts of my package.json: (because its too much code for stackoverflow)
"directories": {
"buildResources": "resources"
},
"extraResources": [
"./content/**",
"settings.json",
{
"from": "resources/icon.png",
"to": ""
},
{
"from": "resources/${os}",
"to": "../"
},
{
"from": "binaries/${os}",
"to": "binaries",
"filter": [
"**/*"
]
}
]
This is my project folder:
And this is the content of the builded app.asar file:

It seems I have to exclude every folder I dont want in the app.asar in the build section of the package.json like this:
"build": {
"files": [
"!binaries/**/*",
"!mac-build/**/*"
],
