Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

I’m trying to get a local patch running for our company’s internal integration workflow.

After running pnpm tauri build, the build process succeeds and creates several artifacts in hoppscotch-selfhost-desktop\src-tauri\target\release\bundle. Installing the .msi creates a shortcut on the desktop. Launching the app shows a blank window first, then it moves to the center of the screen and displays a loading spinner. The process gets stuck at this point, with the spinner continuing indefinitely.

OS: Win 11, Deb 12.0, Ubuntu 24.04

Same thing happens on Linux variants too.

Steps to reproduce

Clone the repo
Go to the project dir: packages\hoppscotch-selfhost-desktop
Build the application: pnpm tauri build
Locate the build in hoppscotch-selfhost-desktop\src-tauri\target\release\bundle
Install the '.msi' or '.deb' file
Launch the application using the created desktop shortcut
Observe the perpetual loading spinner

Environment

Production

Version

Local

@CuriousCorrelation Thank you so much for your help with #4352 issue. I hope you don't mind me reaching out again, but I've also encountered this same problem. Would you be able to offer any insights on this issue as well?
