Tauri 2.x Desktop & Mobile Apps

Quick Guide: Tauri 2.x uses system webviews (not bundled Chromium) with a Rust backend. Define Rust commands with #[tauri::command], invoke from frontend via invoke() from @tauri-apps/api/core. Every sensitive operation requires an explicit permission grant in a capability file. Plugins follow a dual-install pattern: Cargo crate + npm package. Tauri 2 supports desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android).

Current version: Tauri 2.x (stable, 2024+). Tauri 1.x is legacy and uses a fundamentally different security model (allowlist vs capabilities).

CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill

(You MUST use the Tauri 2.x capability/permission system -- the v1 allowlist is removed)

(You MUST register every command in tauri::generate_handler![] -- unregistered commands silently fail on invoke)

(You MUST add plugin permissions to a capability file -- plugins with missing permissions throw runtime errors)

(You MUST use #[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)] on pub fn run() for mobile support)
