+1, I think support for electron/fuses would be a great addition.

FYI, there was also a closed #6365 issue that request support.

Closing this one and reopening the other ticket.

@mmaietta all the other fuses can be used without necessitating changes to Electron Builder itself. This one cannot. I think this should remain open because of that distinction.

From electron/fuses#7 (comment):

We're using Electron-Builder to package our app.

That would be your problem 😅. If you look at the official @electron/asar package, there is a module dedicated to generating these hashes. electron-builder, however, rolled their own ASAR creation code which doesn't have support for creating these hashes.

Would love to see this on electron-builder, Electron@30 added support for Windows machines as well.

[osztenkurden]

Is this currently on the roadmap? Given added support for Windows its kinda a big feature.

[mmaietta]

The only way to support this is by migrating to @electron/asar package. Unfortunately, I've tried to do so several times over the past few years and still haven't gotten to a solution that works. There's a lot of additional functionality that electron-builder relies on, such as transforming file data instead of copying a file directly. I can try and investigate this again, but can't promise anything. I'm the only maintainer on this project that remains (community contributions welcome!), so there's not really an "official" roadmap tbh, just trying to keep my head above the water with the combo of work+life outside of this project.
