8/10 High

Tauri apps cannot obtain Windows package identity, which blocks access to many Windows-specific APIs including the notifications API, severely limiting functionality on Windows.

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

Tauri apps can't have Windows 'package identity', which means that there's a bunch of Windows APIs you simply can't use in Tauri, including the notifications API. Without package identity, IMO, Tauri isn't ready for primetime on Windows.
