Deep supply chain dependency on upstream WebView teams

8/10 High

Bug fixes depend entirely on external teams (WebKit, Microsoft Edge, Apple, Linux distributions). Tauri has no control over fix timing or prioritization, creating unpredictable resolution timelines for critical issues.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Tauri for developers in 2025?”4/7/2026

The supply chain for fixes for Tauri is very deep...A really good example is the CORS issue above, first they had to report it to WebKit team, the WebKit team had to decide it was something they wanted to fix (and even when to fix it). So now presuming the Webkit team has actually fixed it, then downstream Apple has to ship it for MacOS
