Additional context

Simple static site built through webpack but using Capacitor for ios and android support. The site itself has no capacitor code at all. The built site is just html, assets folder for fonts, images, sounds (mp3), json.

If I remove the .git, android, ios folders. Then Tauri works fine and runs with the npm run tauri dev command.

I tried to add a .taurignore file in the src-tauri directory with those folders listed but still fails.
