have you resolved? i got the same problem

have you resolved? i got the same problem

Yes I resolved it.
The module iohook was not getting found after I create a build because the process was little bit wrong.
Assuming that you are using reactjs for UI.

Delete node_modules and run "npm install" first.
Then you need to run "PUBLIC_URL='./' npm run build" command as we are doing in all react applications. It will create a production build. Here we have to pass public url by which our react production build will be generate correctly and will get packages correctly from the node_modules.

scripts in package.json file will look like this
"build": "react-scripts build",
"builder": "electron-builder build",

Note: for every platform when you create a build, you need to pass public url.
linux: "PUBLIC_URL='./' npm run build"
windows: "$env:PUBLIC_URL='./'; npm run build"
mac: "PUBLIC_URL='./' npm run build"

Hope this will become helpful to you.
