I'm getting the same error. Did you fixed it?

[bennekrouf]

You should switch on rust nightly, then try run "cargo build" from src-tauri folder

Didn't Work.

[puneetxp]

it use rustup for that you need to use you need to curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

@Abubakar1122331 I have taken interest to give it one more try today and I have found that the issue is with having Spaces in the absolute path of the directory. Essentially they have fixed it in the cargo-mobile2 repo but not here in he main repo. Take a look at this. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/6627

[omkarium]

Removing the space fixed my issue but this needs to be fixed if someone is following this guide to create a tauri app.https://beta.tauri.app/guides/create/
