I tried it here, both on Mac OS 12.6 and 10.14.6. Both worked fine.
Can you try deleting the electron folder in your project, and doing it again?
Done that and still not working.
Does it have anything to do with these certificate messages?

It could - did you check out the page the error message lists?
https://www.electron.build/code-signing
No I haven’t as yet thank you, whats strange it was working and now has stopped. strange.
Ok, I’ve checked the previous logs and those certificate messages allows appeared, however the messages from the log only appears in this failure to build dmg

The failure of which python is interesting. We’ll have a closer look at that.

Still no luck reproducing it. What is in your Electron package.json property?

Actually - any chance you can send me your whole project folder directly?
It does not matter which project even a sample project does not build.
In the /usr/bin folder there is a python3 file but not a python file which the error log shows.
I have managed to resolve it by changing the following parameters.
Thank you.

Good thinking. Removing the electron folder forces a complete reload of the electron environment.
