Would be nice if this was available on https://flathub.org/

I made a manifest over here:
https://github.com/renner0e/flathub/tree/io.github.kavishdevar.Librepods

currently it fails with this error:

finn@bazzite:~/librepodssetup/flathub$ just run
flatpak run io.github.kavishdevar.Librepods
airpodsApp:  Initializing AirPodsTrayApp 
airpodsApp:  Connected to MPRIS service:  "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.firefox.instance_1_351" 
airpodsApp:  Ear detection behavior is already set to:  0 
airpodsApp:  Connecting to device:  "Yessin’s AirPods" 
airpodsApp:  AirPodsTrayApp initialized 
airpodsApp:  Socket error:  QBluetoothSocket::SocketError::ServiceNotFoundError ,  "Service cannot be found" 
airpodsApp:  Retrying connection (attempt  1 ) 
error: Recipe `run` failed on line 13 with exit code 139

the binary itself works if you just execute it.
Probably needs some weird permission or something.

I don't have the hardware myself so I can't really test this :(

Thank you for your work! I also tried it, but also got an error. the app itself opens/works, but we get a error for the Bluetooth service discovery, which is needed for the app to work. I thinking we would have to create a issue at the Flatpak Qt runtime repo

there are other Bluetooth QT apps on flathub. Maybe we can look at what they do?

hello @renner0e, I've encountered the same issue while packaging librepods in a fedora container. The missing dependency is bluez.

Running this on fedora container fixed it: sudo dnf install bluez

I suspect it is missing from KDE runtime as well.

correct it's not added in the kde runtime, but the fdo one has it already, this is not the issue I think

flatpak run --user --command=cat org.freedesktop.Sdk//25.08 /usr/manifest.json | jq -r '."modules"|.[]|."name"'|sed -E 's#.*/(.*)\.bst#\1#' | sort -u | grep -i bluez
bluez-base
bluez-libs

You're right, for flatpak it was not bluez the issue.

Anyway, I looked at the CMakeLists.txt and the minimum QT6 version is: 6.4
After changing the runtime and Sdk to 6.4 the app runs without issues.

This is what I observed:

6.3 - doesn't compile
6.4 - OK
6.5 - OK
6.6 - OK
6.7 - Crash
6.8 - Crash
6.9 - Crash

The issue now is that all those that are OK are EOL runtimes.

I have removed the specific version requirement. And, I tested on my PC without flatpak. Lemme know if anything else is needed for flatpak.

Huh, I don't understand the problem here:

Does anyone know how to get around this?

this seems to work, you need network permission

oh, who could've guessed that the bluetooth permission isn't sufficient for bluetooth! thanks!

In the works! No platform-dependent stuff.

(And yes, I am gonna add support for various headphones, not just AirPods, similar to MagicPods for Windows)

Now the only problem is CI, I think flathub doesn't allow the build process to have network access, so I would probably have to put all crates in a tarball that can be downloaded and built. Any better suggestions? Flathub says that they could make exceptions, but I don't know if it's worth the effort.

Alternatively, (I know the description of the issue says Flathub), I could host a flatpakrepo too.

Open for suggestions! I am looking for ways to package and distribute the new app.

@kavishdevar use this
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder-tools/tree/master/cargo

Flathub will not allow network access during the build, you'd throw out all the reproducibility out the window.

you may want to consider a maintenance script like this here

https://github.com/flathub/io.github.doukutsu_rs.doukutsu-rs/blob/master/update-deps.sh

building a flatpak in ci could be as easy as this
https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/blob/master/.github/workflows/CI.yaml

or this
https://github.com/kolunmi/bazaar/blob/master/.github/workflows/build-flatpak.yml
