Packaging Electron v5+ with sandbox (AppImage)

[christianbundy]

• Version: 21.2.0

• Target: AppImage

See: #3872

This issue was closed, but the solution only fixes the problem for .deb builds. AppImages are still broken by default, and there's currently no solution (other than asking people to manually patch their AppImage). Is there any recommended course of action for broken AppImage releases?

Thanks!

So there is a workaround of developers to apply the patching during the packages preparing stage. Like https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail/blob/fb4fef50423e67fe06562f1f448c0c761c515d2f/scripts/electron-builder/build-appimage.ts (unpacking the AppImage, applying the changes, packing it back).

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
