Launch Electron application using selenium and java

I'm trying to launch my electron executable using selenium and java in a windows environment but I get a timeout error.

The code that I'm using is something like this:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver.exe"); 

ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions();
opt.setBinary("C:\\Users\\myUser\\MyApp\\MyApp.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("chromeOptions", opt);

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

When previous code is executed, my application is launched but I can't continue with my test because I get this error from selenium:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited normally
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506120,platform=Windows NT 10.0 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 61.21 seconds

        at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.startSession(RemoteWebDriver.java:236)
        at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.<init>(RemoteWebDriver.java:137)
        at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver.<init>(ChromeDriver.java:184)
        at org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver.<init>(ChromeDriver.java:148)

I have tried with different versions of chromedriver and selenium but It doesn't work. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Note: The error is thrown when this line is executed within HttpCommandExecutor class: 

ProtocolHandshake.Result result = handshake.createSession(client, command);

You need to define chromeDriver args for your application path. I'm sharing my code with you. Hope to help.

 ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.setBinary(binaryPath);
    options.addArguments("--app=" + argPath);
    options.setCapability("chromeOptions", options);
    driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
