Has anyone been able to find a solution to this yet?

I am also trying to upgrade after having issues with 3.1.0 that (I assume due to babel/present-env) was converting js classes into functions and breaking when class inheritance was used. Not sure how much related to this issue with preset-env is.

Edit: Looks like my issue is probably coming from the Cordova build itself not having pure js classes. Still, would be nice to get updated Meteor Desktop to get higher Electron/Chrome versions.

Getting the same with 3.2 and a different kind of error with 3.1 - but excited to see this is working! I just updated Color Schemer to 2.16 and it was running at least for development.

Does anyone know what the last working versions of Meteor x Meteor-Desktop were?

3.2 works fine for me with Meteor 2.16. I haven’t tested it on 3.0x RC? yet.

@a4xrbj1 nice, and you are able to build a Mac app?

So far, I am able to run but not build

3.2 works fine for me with Meteor 2.16. I haven’t tested it on 3.0x RC? yet.

@a4xrbj1 are you sure 3.2 is working? I'm trying it with Meteor 2.1.6, and getting the api.caller() is not a function error.

I thought it was working to start with, but then I made a trivial change to my desktop.js file (triggering a change in the desktop hash and a re-build), then I get this error.

@iokill I've tried your 'dirty' fix from dupe #38 by using your branch meteor npm install -D https://github.com/innerspacetrainings/meteor-desktop#preset-env-hotfix and I still get the same error.

In the meantime, 3.1.1 appears to be be working for me so far...

Why would I say it’s working when it’s not? Not sure why you question what I write.

The only reason I questioned it was because, as I wrote, it appeard to be working for me until I made a change to my desktop.js file causing it to be recompiled. Before that the cached desktop build was was working fine.

That's great that it's working for you, and sorry if you took offence at my questioning it.

Would you mind sharing your package.json and desktop settings? You appear to be the only person in this thread for whom it is working.
