Description

I'm using Clerk from within a tauri app.

When building for production, I'm not able to sign-in.

I have a hosted site on my primary domain that is currently functional (allows sign ups, sign ins, etc.). I have updated my instance settings with allowed_origins set to ["tauri://localhost"]

In the example repo above, I am passing

<ClerkProvider
  allowedRedirectProtocols={["tauri:"]}
  clerkJSVersion="5.39.0"
  signInUrl="/sign-in"
  {...pageProps}
>
  <Component {...pageProps} />
</ClerkProvider>

What am I missing? I have also attempted to use the primary domain sign in page directly, but I'm not able to redirect back to tauri://localhost.

I think at least one issue is the inability to set cookies: tauri-apps/tauri#2604

It's looking like I will have to create a custom SDK for this use case. Is there anything that I'm missing?

Actually, the best thing to do for now might be to Use Clerk as an OAuth 2 Provider.
