### Forge version
7.7.0
### Electron version
35.0.2
### Operating system
macOS 15.3.2
### Last known working Forge version
_No response_
### Expected behavior
Notifications should work both in development mode and in the packaged application.
### Actual behavior
In development mode (electron-forge start), notifications work as expected on macOS.
After packaging the application using electron-forge package, notifications no longer appear.
Removing FusesPlugin from the Forge configuration restores notifications in the packaged app.
### Steps to reproduce
Create a minimal Electron Forge project:
```
npx electron-forge@latest init test-app --template=typescript-webpack
cd test-app
npm install
```
Add a simple notification in src/main.ts:
```
const createWindow = () => {
// Function to show a notification
const showNotification = () => {
const notification = new Notification({
title: 'Hello World',
body: ''
});
notification.show();
};
// Import the Notification module
// Show notification after the window is created
setTimeout(() => {
if (Notification.isSupported()) {
showNotification();
}
}, 2000);
// Create the browser window.
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
webPreferences: {
preload: path.join(__dirname, 'preload.js'),
},
});
// and load the index.html of the app.
if (MAIN_WINDOW_VITE_DEV_SERVER_URL) {
mainWindow.loadURL(MAIN_WINDOW_VITE_DEV_SERVER_URL);
} else {
mainWindow.loadFile(path.join(__dirname, `../renderer/${MAIN_WINDOW_VITE_NAME}/index.html`));
}
// Open the DevTools.
mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools();
};
```
Run the application in dev mode:
`yarn start
`
Notifications appear correctly.
Package the application:
`yarn make
`
Open the packaged app:
Notifications do not appear.
Remove FusesPlugin from forge.config.ts, repackage, and pack again:
Notifications work again.
