@shaileshparanjpe : To avoid that problem just install asar with:
npm install @electron/asar

Anyway, if you're using Ubuntu, instead of pasting all those lines, the only thing you need to do is this:

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lyshie/0c49393076b8b375ca1bd98c28f95fb0/raw/e6bca7386ac58a99ce8de07489481a2e579b170f/create-deb.sh
chmod +x create-deb.sh
,/create-deb.sh

That's it.

If you're using a Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu, you should change the architecture to arm64 (or armhf if you're running on 32-bit) in the config-deb.json file (you'll have to download it manually, edit it, then remove the "wget -c -O /tmp/config-rpm.json ..." line from the create-deb.sh file to avoid overwriting your arch modification). But this version of Scratch won't have access to the GPIO and SenseHat extensions for the Raspberry Pi, sadly, since those extensions are exclusive to the special version of Scratch Desktop that comes with the official Raspberry Pi OS.

Thank you for your job, @lyshie !!

In create-deb.sh, the last line should be sudo gdebi /tmp/scratch-desktop_3.29.1_amd64.deb, not sudo gdebi /tmp/scratch-desktop_3.12.0_amd64.deb
