Bad credentials error with gitea

[ho-ho-ho]

I know the gitea support is still experimental so I thought some feedback would be nice :)

I still haven't managed to get it to work, it always fails with "Bad credentials":

[... build works fine ...]

Couldn't find release with tag 0.1.2-beta1. Creating one.

Workflow config:

      - uses: tauri-apps/tauri-action@v0.6.1
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          githubBaseUrl: https://GITEA_SERVER/api/v1
          isGitea: true
          tagName: "__VERSION__"
          releaseName: "APPNAME __VERSION__"
          releaseBody: ":rocket:"

It manages to create the release and tag it (or see that there's an existing one) so the api stuff seems to work, just the uploadReleaseAsset part fails. So I think it's not a permission issue (then creating the release would also fail). I also tested it with a token with all permissions, didn't change a thing.

One interesting thing that I've noticed is that there is no API request (POST) for the upload, the gitea server log only has these entries:

2026/02/06 18:21:02 HTTPRequest [I] router: completed GET /api/v1/repos/OWNER/REPO/releases/tags/0.1.2-beta1 for RUNNER_IP:36084, 404 Not Found in 21.9ms @ repo/release_tags.go:17(repo.GetReleaseByTag)
2026/02/06 18:21:03 HTTPRequest [I] router: completed POST /api/v1/repos/OWNER/REPO/releases for RUNNER_IP:36084, 201 Created in 130.8ms @ repo/release.go:189(repo.CreateRelease)

Seems like the error happens before the request is made.

Maybe this will help to improve gitea support :)
