Building a Tauri app on nixpkgs?

A distribution mechanism has been implemented for Tauri applications within Nixpkgs. Refer to the Nixpkgs documentation for implementation details. here

Building a Tauri app with crane

The crane-tauri flake uses crane to cache cargoArtifacts, so changes to your app source rebuild at near-incremental speed. Refer to the source code repository for implementation details and documentation.
