Three Tauri build bugs found after a green CI run on macOS, Windows and Linux
The author maintains StackerPulse, a Rust and Tauri v2 desktop app, and shipped builds across three platforms from one workflow. A macOS universal build failed at bundling because a second binary, a CLI secret scanner, was compiled but never merged into the universal output, even though each individual step behaved correctly. A release workflow then reported success while uploading no installers, since the release-creation step returned an empty ID and the action skipped uploads without any warning. Inspecting the update manifest revealed a third issue: two per-language MSI installers shared one architecture key, so the English build was overwritten and users could receive the wrong language after an update. The author concludes that a passing build only shows the toolchain did not crash, and that these failures emerge from handoffs between components.
