app cannot be used in preload/renderer. You should use ipc to handle.

@alex8088 How to use ipc to handle ? All i want is to get the app.getPath('appData')
Can you give example using IPC ?

@alex8088 Thanks. Is it okay to use the ipcRenderer from electron in the preload script, or must i use the ipcRenderer from electronAPI in preload script ?

../preload/index.ts

import { contextBridge, ipcRenderer } from 'electron'
import { electronAPI } from '@electron-toolkit/preload'

// Custom APIs for renderer
const api = {
  getAppDataPath: () => ipcRenderer.invoke('get-appData-path')
}

if (process.contextIsolated) {
  try {
    contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('electron', electronAPI)
    contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('api', api)
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error)
  }
} else {
  // @ts-ignore (define in dts)
  window.electron = electronAPI
  // @ts-ignore (define in dts)
  window.api = api
}
