Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

The package hoppscotch-selfhost-desktop should be updated to Tauri v2. The doc to update from Tauri v1 can be found here: https://v2.tauri.app/start/migrate/from-tauri-1/
Some work needs to be done to update the rust code, as mentioned in this issue:

TLDR is basically that, the references in hoppscotch-desktop would have to be updated to v2 of tauri (right now rc.1 is available, which is suboptimal). Also after performing the migration, more code changes in packages/hoppscotch-selfhost-desktop/src/platform/auth.ts would have to be made, as @tauri-apps/plugin-http (from v2) is not having both Body and getClientfrom in it, unlike previously was in @tauri-apps/api/http. Not sure if they will be providing this in the future or Auth will need to be redesigned in the end.

After some testing, I can give some hints to start the update (I'm stuck on updating the rust code in the src-tauri/src/):

Read entirely the documentation given above.
A lot of imports and functions needs to be changed, both in the src/ (typescript) and the src-tauri/src/ (rust). For example, on the typescript side, getWindow() does not exist in v2. You need to import import { getCurrentWindow } from "@tauri-apps/api/window".
Another example would be in the rust side to not use listen_global(), but use tauri::Listener and replace by listen_any(), and not use emit_all() but use tauri::Emitter and replace by emit().
Also, I had to add the following dependencies to the package.json file in packages/hoppscotch-selfhost-desktop after the migration:

  "dependencies": {
    [...]
    "@tauri-apps/api": "^2.0.2",
    "@tauri-apps/cli": "2.3.1",
    "@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog": "^2.2.0",
    "@tauri-apps/plugin-fs": "^2.2.0",
    "@tauri-apps/plugin-http": "^2.3.0",
    "@tauri-apps/plugin-os": "^2.2.0",
    "@tauri-apps/plugin-shell": "^2.0.0",
    "@tauri-apps/plugin-store": "^2.2.0",
    [...]
  },

I'm now stuck to update the rust code, for which I don't have enough knowledge to do so. Help needed!

Why should this be worked on?

This should be high priority as it could resolve a lot of different errors faced by users, and more importantly be more up-to-date as other projects created in Hoppscotch (i.e.: hoppscotch agent).
