I noticed that the previously-used
electron-devtools-installer
recently got an update after 3 years. Since it is maintained by Electron maintainers, it seems better in the long run to switch back to it.Also, since its README suggested installing it as a dev dependency, I checked the app functionality in dev and preview builds, and it worked fine.
Finally, the
allowFileAccess: true
option was removed, since Electron'sloadFile()
method is not used in dev mode, which is the only scope of relevance for this package. Extensions were confirmed to still load fine.
