## Resource

Tauri 2.0 introduces a major architectural redesign to support mobile development and enhance security through a modular plugin system. The update focuses on reducing the core footprint while providing a more secure, tree-shakable environment for cross-platform apps.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Tauri 2.0 moves toward a modular architecture to support iOS and Android while reducing the core binary size
- Practical takeaway: Use the desktop version of Tauri for daily development and debugging before targeting mobile devices
- Failure mode: Relying on monolithic application structures can lead to increased attack surfaces and larger, less efficient binaries
- Main idea: The new plugin system allows developers to explicitly manage access to low-level OS services like the file system
- Practical takeaway: Use 'create-tauri-app' for a faster, scaffolded onboarding experience with your preferred web framework
