Does electron-builder work with loginhelper?

I'm trying to implement Electron's new login helper with my Mac app, but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm using electron-builder to build my mac app and it seems there's a specific step in the build process to get the login helper to work:

https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/mac-app-store-submission-guide

Can someone confirm that electron-builder does or does not work with electron's new login helper?

When I look in the mac console, I get the following error when l double click the login helper: "Process is not in an inherited sandbox."

It seems like someone else has had the same problem in their Electron build process:

electron/electron#5248

Is it me doing something wrong or does electron-builder simply not support the login helper functionality?

I still haven't figured this out. Am I really the only one who is experiencing this issue?

I've started a bounty on SO if anyone feel like looking into it:

I ended up signing my application again using Electron's guide - https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/mac-app-store-submission-guide.md - and now the start at login works.

I'm leaving the bug open, since it should be electron-builder's job to do this.

Can this be reopened? It seems electron-builder is still not able to sign the login item helper incorrectly on the latest version?

@holgersindbaek were you able to get around this while still using electron-builder, e.g. with afterPack or something like that? Or did you skip electron-builder entirely?
