Description:
The signal-desktop application crashes when opening the "upload sticker pack" window. This is becouse the current build is missing build steps sugested [here](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6495#issuecomment-1678077372) to build the sticker-creator suppart of the application.
An fix which I guess would work is already in another branch within the Arch Linux Package repository but should be tested and merged to be available to the general public (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/signal-desktop/-/blob/sticker-creator/PKGBUILD).


Additional info:
* package version(s): 6.12.0+?
* link to upstream bug report, if any: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6618, https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6495

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open signal-desktop
2. Click on "File"
3. Click on "Create/upload sticker pack"
*crashes*

My apologies for the markdown formatting within de description. Thought that would be supported on here

Thanks for the ticket...but this seems totally unnecessary. The fact the branch exists means the PM is fully aware of the situation.

> which I guess would work

Sorry, but "guess" is no good in a bug report. Please test out stuff fully before making suggestions like this.
