npm run build does not export the actual app

Description

This was previously discussed inside the Neutralinojs Discord, but to sum it up: running npm run build does not export the actual app. Instead, it exports a Neutralinojs template app.

Steps to recreate

1. Run neu create app_name --template OrigamingWasTaken/neutralino-svelte
2. cd into the project and run npm install
3. Run npm run dev to verify custom app
4. Run npm run build

After delving more into the issue, I noticed this:

1. Running the original build command from Neutralinojs a.k.a. neu build generates correct executables + a resources.neu file (as stated in the docs), however there is a problem with CSS for light and dark. This is how it looks like in light mode.

This is also after removing light-dark related colors in src/app.css.

2. In scripts/build/ts/index.ts, from what I understand, it's removing dist/ and .tmpbuild/ folder, then builds, then removes it again, then finally exports executables to dist/. The problem is when it tries to build, it doesn't generate any resources.neu at all, which makes the app default to the base app.

For example, in scripts/build/ts/win-bundle.ts, which is called in index.ts:

const neuResources = path.resolve('dist', neuConfig.cli.binaryName, 'resources.neu');
		if (!fs.existsSync(neuResources)) {
			l.fatal("No 'resources.neu' file was not found in the ./dist directory");
			return;
		}

this error never triggers despite the fact that no resources.neu is generated.

then again, I may be completely wrong; I'm still trying to understand this template as a whole.
