Electron app opens but window is not visible

[abuga]

Hi, I tried to run the project found here https://github.com/ElectronNET/Electron.NET (src/ElectronNET.WebApp) using electronize start. The app opens in the task bar and I can see a splash screen but it remains stuck there.

I have a colleague who runs the same configuration on Windows and for him it works, and another one who runs it on macOS (same as me) and his also works. I am the only one who can't use electronize on his machine.
Could somebody provide some guidance?

The command that I runned and its output:

Hi, it seems the issue was me using .net 6 sdk for macos arm64 for the "electronize start" command published on osx-x64. I switched to .net 6 sdk macos x64 and now it's working fine.

It seems that I can also use the .net arm version if I type electronize start /target custom "osx-arm64;osx"
