Use tauri v2

[fossdd]

Describe the problem

tauri v1 (which is currently used by cinny) uses webkit2gtk 4.0. However webkit2gtk 4.0 is outdated and unavailable on many distribitions like Debian or Alpine (which I was packaging Cinny on).

Unfortunaly I have to disable the cinny package on Alpine Linux since we removed webkit2gtk 4.0 and only support webkit2gtk 4.1 or 6.0.

See also #367 or tauri-apps/tauri#9662

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally cinny-desktop could be moved to tauri v2 which supports webkit2gtk 4.1 and would restore support for many distributions.

I like this idea!

Could be done by using the commands from Upgrade from Tauri 1.0 | Automated Migration.

We'll need to remember to upgrade our plugins under Cargo.toml.

For reference this is currently blocking #247, cinnyapp/cinny#446

I'll take care of those when we upgrade cinny-desktop

Gave it a try, and attempted to migrate tauri v1 to v2.

Pulled off the right dependencies, and tauri.conf.json had to undergo some modifications for v2. Eventually hit a block, since the migration produces numerous Rust errors. Couldn't seem to solve all of them. Clearly this is going to take much longer for me to address.

Overall learned some things, but can't do it yet on my own. Could set an initial PR, but would be broken atm.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks for the effort!

@Neved4 I also had similar rust issues. Same, thought this would be easy task but turned out to be much complicated. For a reference you could find some other other projects that migrated to v2.

My first rust project contribution, but the above linked PR was able to build on both WSL and Arch. I am just a lowly ops dude, so maybe the small changes to the main.rs aren't correct (for some reason I don't understand), but it at least worked when I was using the updated client under testing last night.
