electron-build fails with ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE

Question

goal

I want to build an electron app ON a windows Machine for a Rasperry PI 4 running Raspbian32

configuration

"linux": {
        "target" : [
            {
                "target": "AppImage",
                "arch": ["armv7l"]
            }
        ]
    },

calling

"build-dist-lin": "webpack --mode production && electron-builder -l --config .env.json",

returned ERROR

cannot get, wait error=Get "https://service.electron.build/find-build-agent?no-cache=1ghlrte": dial tcp 51.15.76.176:443: connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. attempt=0 waitTime=2 Error: C:\A\Repo\test\node_modules\app-builder-bin\win\x64\app-builder.exe exited with code ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE

No Leads

There is no further information in this log to know where then ... it goes wrong. In the same env.json I also have a Windows Configuration part which runs perfectly well with calling it with -w. So that means that the configuration is probably ok. And that means it fails somewhere else.

Seems to be an issue with the electron builder. Since the free service host associated with the electron builder is unavailable and there by it refuses the connection. You could monitor the issue thread from the below link. This issue has been watched along for a long time I believe.
