Context

In Camunda Modeler, we migrated from a mix of browser and node SDK to the Electron one. However, a built application prompts the user for keychain access on macOS. Cf. camunda/camunda-modeler#5977

@barmac do you know what Electron API call we are making that causes this? There's nothing in Electrons breaking changes that would explain this.

Does your app use the Electron safeStorage API?

Hi, thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately, I was not able to debug it to find the exact API call from the SDK. However, it was enough to require('@sentry/electron/main') to cause the prompt to appear.

The application itself does not use safeStorage on its own.
