I did have installed the dependency on my system, the correct version. However it expected it to be under “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/” and I had it under “/usr/lib/”. I did a quick test with a symlink and it works just fine, the application now works, but that’s not a solution.

Maybe the distro doesn’t have the dependency or maybe it has but it’s just in a different location, but that dependency, being a critical dependency which has caused problems, should be in the AppImage itself, I think.

UPDATE: Just found out this issue is the same one as this, and this person solved it the same way I did. If it’s a Tauri problem then I guess it’s just a matter of waiting

Yes. That Pull request to Tauri also mentions my case. So it’s a Tauri issue.

Edit : It shows that it’s Merged. So maybe try using Latest Tauri to build it?
