Hello all
We’re currently in the process of updating a Flatpak package from Freedesktop runtime 23.08 to 25.08. Our app (the Heroic Games Launcher) needs 32-bit dependencies, so we’ve added them here, following Multiarch support. For users installing the app from the main Flathub repository, this works fine
For the runtime update, we’ve made the changes on our beta branch, which is on the Flathub Beta repository. When installing that version (flatpak install flathub-beta com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl), the 32-bit runtimes are not auto-installed
GitHub user Oppzippy has discovered that this doesn’t just affect Heroic, but seemingly any Flatpak app not installed from the main Flathub repo. In this post, they’re highlighting the same behavior happening for the Steam Flatpak
Is this intentional? Can we do anything to auto-install the dependencies in this case?
Thanks
