Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

When I run the AppImage for Linux, I'm met with the following error:

thread 'main' panicked at /home/andrew/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/tauri-utils-1.4.0/src/lib.rs:205:11:
`APPDIR` or `APPIMAGE` environment variable found but this application was not detected as an AppImage; this might be a security issue.
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

This happens due to the desktop app being pinned to tauri-utils v1.4.0. After finding this issue in Tauri's repo, I digged further to find that this bug has been resolved in tauri-utils v1.5.0 and it should be fixed in Hoppscotch desktop simply by updating the dependency's version.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download the AppImage for Linux
  2. Run the AppImage
  3. See error

Environment

Production

Version
