There are no "Electron-based Mac apps", because nobody is targeting the Mac specifically with those apps. What we do have is web-first apps that use Electron to provide a desktop experience (like Slack), and desktop-first apps that use Electron as a multi-platform runtime (like VS Code).
The first group tends to have webview-based "native" apps and running those on the Mac wouldn't realise any of the expected advantages of a native app. The latter group won't have any sort of native iOS app to begin with. At any rate, neither of those groups is likely to migrate to native apps because of this move.
Came here to say that.
I’ve built my most recent app using electron because I could easily target both os‘es using the same code base.
This will not change with the M1 and Big Sur.
I would love to see Apple going all in with SwiftUI and implement Win10 support. But I doubt this will ever happen.
the end of Electron-based mac apps for good!
As a developer I use several electron apps daily on a MBP, I never give them a second thought.
The inelegance of high memory consumption is far less infuriating than the many product and UX sins committed by apps.
