Symlinked file problem during asar merge with unpacked directory

[andymartinwork]

I'm merging two asars for x64 and arm64 on Mac.

Unfortunately this fails with the following error:

  • spawning        command=/app/node_modules/app-builder-bin/mac/app-builder_arm64 encode-plist
  • map async       taskCount=5
  • exited          command=app-builder_arm64 code=0 pid=66084
  • packaging       platform=darwin arch=universal electron=19.0.8 appOutDir=dist/mac-universal

There is another Mac app in the asar unpacked directory which contains the Breakpad framework. One of the files inside the .app is a framework which contains a symlinked file called Breakpad. I think this is what causes the issue.

The universal building works if I specify mergeAsar = false, but then the app is rather large.
