Is it possible to get it merged? Thank you!

@lucasfernog Would you mind reviewing and merging these changes? A lot of developers, including me, would love to have this as an option.

I'll merge this but I'll leave it in the dev branch for a while. To use it in a workflow, you can just change - uses: tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0 to - uses: tauri-apps/tauri-action@dev.

So After a few tests, I have found an error.

Trying to create a release.json for multiple platforms fails after the first one.

The workflow successfully creates the release.json file for the first action that completes, but fails on the other actions of the matrix with a Unexpected token N in JSON at position 0 error.

I am using this https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-action#uploading-the-artifacts-to-a-release example to create the release.

Here is my workflow file: https://github.com/Layendan/NineAnimator-Tauri/actions/runs/3401839275/workflow

And here are a list of different workflows showing that the platform that finishes first is the one that succeeds while all the others fail:

• https://github.com/Layendan/NineAnimator-Tauri/actions/runs/3389322461
• https://github.com/Layendan/NineAnimator-Tauri/actions/runs/3401831189

@Layendan Can you try the fix/json-upload branch please?

[Layendan]

I have tested the changes and it appears that it works.
Here is the workflow for it: https://github.com/Layendan/NineAnimator-Tauri/actions/runs/3415169451

Thank you for fixing it and if you don't mind, could you explain what was going wrong, I can't seem to figure it out based on the commits you made.

Is it just using octokit instead of fetch that fixes it?

That, and using the rest api instead of browser_download_url (which as its name suggests is really meant for user controlled browsers). It was basically just an authentication issue.
