Well I had the same error and the solution was to search for the file “WebKitNetworkProcess”
sudo find / -name WebKitNetworkProcess 2>/dev/nulland i find the file"WebKitNetworkProcess"in"/usr/lib/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess"I created the/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/and make a symlink to"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess"And now the .AppImage works fine 🤙🏼Ah ye, my bad. After asking on Tauri discord for clues, this is actually a problem with Tauri itself, which is detailed on this PR, waiting for the PR to be merged to fix this issue.
