🗨️ Final Words

If you are still having difficulty, we would love for you to post a question to the Electron is Snap issues page. It is much easier to answer questions that include your code and relevant files! So if you can provide them, we'd be extremely grateful (and more likely to help you find the answer!)

A special thanks to electron-is-packaged for inspiring electron-is-snap and providing a structure for Electron apps checking if they are running in Snap.
