ember electron {make, package} fails on darwin builds

[cupofnestor]

Relevant:

electron/packager#927
#384

We are having the same trouble as these folks. Here is what I've tried:

• npm install [email protected]
  ❌ :make fails
• npm update ember-electron
  ❌ :make fails
• npm r electron-prebuilt-compile && npm i --save-dev [email protected]
  ✅ :make succeeds

Why do we need to downgrade prebuilt-compile, whose dep is this?
What is the best course of action to support my devs? - modify package.json in the ember project to v3.0.13?

Although I don't have easy access to Mac machines to test, I suspect this is related to the problems (e.g. see this comment) I've had that mostly boil down to (1) electron-prebuilt-compile (required by electron-forge v5.x) being abandoned and (2) electron-forge v6.0.0 not being released yet. If downgrading solves your problem for now then that is probably the most expedient "solution". However, what I think we (users/contributors to ember-electron) really need to do is to update the codebase to use electron-forge 6 (beta). That should help break some long-standing log-jams.

@jacobq I believe this should be fixed with the electron-forge updates right?

@bendemboski should we close this now that v3 beta is out?

In the 3.0 beta we're on the latest electron-forge and electron-packager. If you update and it's still happen, feel free to reopen or open a new issue with updating info.
