How are Electron apps typically shipped? If the answer is "inside an installer" then the installer needs to be signed.


These days in 99 cases of 100 I’d use something like Sqirrel to install per-user and enable self updates. But it’s still and executable and I still think Windows Defender will react poorly to an unsigned one even if it isn’t going to need any elevated privileges.


Depends on the target platform. For macOS for example it's just the '.app' bundle.
