you have a denied permission for removing files. First try to delete the desktop-installer folder by hands, if it works then the problem is with the permission of the system.
And change "com.apple.application-identifier": "ooo.corp.color" to "com.apple.application-identifier": "5584CR723U.ooo.corp.color"
Appreciate the quick response! I just tried it - changing com.apple.application-identifier lead the application to build successfully, but it would not run. There’s an “app quit unexpectedly” error. I also tried to install the .pkg file, it ran successfully but nothing was installed.

The main thing that you can’t install the app store signed package version like it is, only from the app store connect.
So, how to create a local installer for the app? There are couple of ways:
don’t sign the app:
clear the “CNC_LINK” variable;
change in the settings mac/type to development
sign it with the Mac developer installer (didn’t test yet)
Jumping this train as well. The “meteor-desktop” seem to be the only (?) “working & proper” desktop builder, it would be great if MDG ever consider to integrate desktop environment next to cordova. It is also pity that current “meteor-desktop” supports only Electron v2 (whereas actual is v6) and seems to be abandoned (?).
I’m using it with Meteor 2 and it’s working. It did break HCP initially tho because the major version change of Meteor (1.x to 2.x) made it think the build was incompatible w/the previous build. Releasing a major version change just for marketing purposes was a bit annoying from a tooling perspective since many things assume semver compatibility.
Using it with Meteor 2.1 and it works fine. The problems are more on the Electron side where we currently can’t use the latest versions but work has just been kicked off as this package is now under the Meteor community.
For those wondering, here’s what I’d been struggling to put out all this time
There used to be an app in the 2000s called ColorSchemer that died off when the switch to 64-bit happened… I figured somebody needed to come in and fill that void
However, it was rejected due to not running - Error Code 1 was the complaint.
