Describe the bug

Describe the bug

The "Vue Simulator Desktop Release" GitHub Actions workflow fails on all three platforms:

Platform	Error
Windows	'DESKTOP_MODE' is not recognized as an internal or external command
Ubuntu	The system library glib-2.0 required by crate glib-sys was not found
macOS	Error: GITHUB_TOKEN is required

Root Causes

1. Windows: beforeBuildCommand in tauri.conf.json uses Unix-only syntax (DESKTOP_MODE=true and cp)
2. Ubuntu: Missing required Linux dev libraries (libglib2.0-dev, libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev, etc.)
3. macOS: tauri-apps/tauri-action is missing GITHUB_TOKEN env variable
4. Workflow bug: working-directory: ./src is incorrect (package.json is at root)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Push any commit to the main branch
2. Go to Actions tab → "Vue Simulator Desktop Release"
3. All three OS builds fail

Expected Behavior

The workflow should build successfully on all platforms and create a GitHub Release with downloadable binaries.

hey @tachyons is this workflow supposed to be working ? i can put up a fix if needed.
also, should it trigger on both push and release, or just one ?

@senutpal you can close this issue too, since it has been addressed in #636 and will be fixed along with code signing
