Same issue

[skyar-ch]

Exact same issue

[FabianLars]

please only react to OP's message with a thumbsup, +1 comments don't help anyone :)

Also, can you guys try cargo install create-tauri-app --locked ? It should make it work for now and get us over the weekend...

[FabianLars]

Alrighty, that was easier to fix than anticipated, maybe we can release it over the weekend depending on the availability of the other maintainers -still, the --locked flag should work in the meantime, and i've update the docs at tauri.app to include that flag.
