symbol lookup error

I got this error when I try to start my electron app.

• Electron version 14

I'm getting a similar error as the one above:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __ZN2v816FunctionTemplate3NewEPNS_7IsolateEPFvRKNS_20FunctionCallbackInfoINS_5ValueEEEENS_5LocalIS4_EENSA_INS_9SignatureEEEiNS_19ConstructorBehaviorENS_14SideEffectTypeEPKNS_9CFunctionEhhh

Got the same error as @IonutBurlacu on electron 13 & usb-detection 14.4.1. electron-rebuild didn't appear to do anything, it returned immediately. although it did replace the .node file. I went into node_modules/usb-detection and ran a yarn install and that at least resolved the electron crash on startup due to missing symbols, but usb-detection still wouldn't work, got an exception when trying to require it. I added a postinstall script to my package.json to run electron-builder install-app-deps and that fixed everything up
