The "data" argument must be of type string or ... about electron-builder-notarize HOT 9 CLOSED

Same problem here. Worked great with macos-10.15 but fails to notarize using macos-latest or macos-12. And since macos-10.15 is now deprecated, I am no longer able to notarize my app using Github Actions.

UPDATE
Switching to authenticate with username and password (APPLE_ID and APPLE_ID_PASSWORD) instead of API_KEY has resolved the issue for me. Updated my build.yml as follows:

env:
  APPLE_ID: ${{ secrets.apple_id }}
  APPLE_ID_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.apple_id_password }}

where
APPLE_ID String - The username of your apple developer account
APPLE_ID_PASSWORD String - The app-specific password (not your Apple ID password)

I have exactly the same issue :(

Even by putting APPLE_ID and APPLE_ID_PASSWORD, I still have the issue.

I'm not sure which of these helped me, but this configuration signs my code and notarizes successfully

- name: Prepare for app notarization
  run: |
    mkdir -p ~/private_keys/
    echo '${{ secrets.APPLE_API_KEY }}' > ~/private_keys/AuthKey_${{ secrets.APPLE_API_KEY_ID }}.p8
    echo '${{ secrets.APPLECERT }}' | base64 -d > applecert.p12
- name: Building
  env:
    APPLEID: ${{ secrets.APPLEID }}
    APPLEIDPASS: ${{ secrets.APPLEIDPASS }}
    API_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_API_KEY_ID }}
    API_KEY_ISSUER_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_API_KEY_ISSUER_ID }}
    CSC_LINK: 'file://applecert.p12'
    CSC_KEY_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.APPLECERTPWD }}

Maybe the problem is not here - but I hope for help, because I can't find a solution yet. Thanks!

@andyoknen the error handling part in the package is throwing this error. You are not able to see the actual error due to this.

I'll submit a PR with the fix.

@juli1 thanks! Would love to have more information about what is going on!

@andyoknen do you still use samuelmeuli/action-electron-builder@v1? Do you mind sharing your entire configuration?

Thanks,

I'm sorry, I mixed up the workflow - in the example above, I use electron-builder to build. Here is my action to build the release now - it looks like everything is fine with it now. I think I fixed the notarization for a long time, but I don't remember exactly how :)

I think the issue can be closed - my question is exhausted
