Cannot run built application as root

  • Version: 11.7.0
  • Target: Darwin - MacOS Safari

My application runs fine when running as a normal user, but when I try to start it using sudo it errors with the following.

 $ open my-electron.app
Opens my app successfully

 $ sudo open my-electron.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /.../my-electron.app.

I need to run as root because I need access to network interfaces. (pcap)
