Window cannot be maximized easily.
Window can be resized but the green maximize button is grayed out
and double clicking title bar does nothing.
Setting ->maximizable(true) does nothing.

Notes

Im not really sure if I am missing something but any other tutorial for native doesn't show any other steps and the problem doesn't seem to be present.

On macOS you can have a combination of maximizable and fullScreenable depending on what you want users to be able to do with their windows

There was a bug in some versions of Electron where setting maximizable (which we do by default) wouldn't enable the button.

Since this was fixed in newer versions of Electron, I've updated everything to use the latest stable version and it seems to have fixed this.

So make sure you're using at least nativephp/electron@v0.7.0.

This does now mean that windows are not fullScreenable by default. This will come when i've wrapped up the PRs I shared earlier.
