Additional context

In my case, I have an existing Angular project and I want to build a tauri desktop app for a trial. But the project depends on a lot of backend APIs with http protocol (not https) to work, which resulted in "Mixed Content" errors in release mode (tauri's https://tauri.localhost by default, ref #3007). So I tried to use tauri-plugin-localhost to start a local http server on port 4200, serving the front end build. Then I changed tauri.config.windows.url in tauri.conf.json to http://localhost:4200. It worked, but I also got to this issue, that the menu bar disappeared unexpectedly. I'm also looking for other solutions for my case (instead of starting an local http server to avoid "Mixed Content" errors).
