[bug] cannot build with tauri.conf.json version with pre-release semvar (e.g., 0.1.0-1)

[Da-NKP]

Describe the bug

In /src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, using a prerelease semvar (e.g., 0.1.0-1) will cause a build error:

> [email protected] tauri
> tauri ios build

thread '<unnamed>' panicked at crates/tauri-cli/src/mobile/ios/mod.rs:148:62:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: IosVersionNumberInvalid(VersionTripleInvalid(PatchInvalid { version: "0.1.0-1", source: ParseIntError { kind: InvalidDigit } }))
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
zsh: abort      npm run tauri ios build

Reproduction

1. set up new project (npm create tauri-app@latest) according to the guide
2. update version in /src-tauri/tauri.conf.json to a prerelease version (e.g., 0.1.0-1)
3. do npm run tauri ios build (after ensuring all previous setup steps for new project are complete)

Expected behavior

Using a prerelease semvar should not cause the app to panic during build. It should compile just as it does for a standard release number.

can you check whether 0.1.0+1 works? iOS generally doesn't support full semver. A tldr from my understanding:
iOS has 2 version fields, CFBundleShortVersionString and CFBundleVersion.

• CFBundleShortVersionString: This is the "main" public facing version and it requires a number[.number[.number]] format and does not accept prerelease data or build numbers (+/- in semver)
• CFBundleVersion: This is the "build number". In app store contexts this can be used to re-submit your still private/in-testing app for the same main version. It also requires a number[.number[.number]] format.

For explanation, number[.number[.number]] means 1, 1.0, and 1.0.0 are all valid formats (but also the only formats).

Sooo, to get back to the topic, i asked to try 0.1.0+1 because + means build data in semver and i wondered if maybe we use the build data as the build number. Probably far fetched but worth a try.
