[Amirth24]

Describe the bug

I just created a tauri project to play with it. I wanted to make an android application. I had no issues in developing the application the problem arises when it comes to building the apk. The issue here is this error arises at the end of the apk build process. Please help

Reproduction

1. Create a new tauri project with any ways I guess, I tried only with cargo and once again with pnpm.

   • pnpm create tauri-app
   • cd hello-tauri
   • pnpm install

2. Initialize the android support.

   • NDK_HOME=~/Android/Sdk/ndk/28.0.12433566 pnpm tauri android init
   • NDK_HOME=~/Android/Sdk/ndk/28.0.12433566 pnpm tauri android build

Expected behavior
