According to this answer Electron - How to add external files? i change my package.json but it didn't work. I have added my folder structure and package.json

Hint: In your packaged app files, look for a file called "app.asar", extract it to see which file are packaged correctly and which are not. — aabuhijleh, Feb 24 '20 at 08:15
