Electron app run with --no-sandbox generates warnings and errors - visual-studio-code

Question

I am trying to write my first electron app and deploy it to a system that requires me to run with the --no-sandbox option (I don't have root/sudo permissions on the system). While I am able to run with the --no-sandbox option, I see the following messages when I try to open a dialog to pick a file.
I can run vscode on the same system, and it also needs the --no-sandbox option, but I have not seen any of these messages while using vscode, so I assume it has something to do with the way may app is setup, or they way I am opening the dialog.

Here is an example of how I am opening the dialog.
import { remote } from 'electron'
then later
buttonClicked = () => {
console.log(this)
ipcRenderer.send('do-something')
const dialog = remote.dialog
console.log(dialog.showOpenDialogSync(remote.getCurrentWindow(), {
properties: ['openFile']
}))
}
