Metadata issues building Chitubox flatpak

Hello there

I’m having issues building a flatpak using this repo: GitHub - rmonk/chitubox-flatpak: Flatpak builder for Chitubox

I am building it on the Steam Deck and have managed to get all the way to the actual installation part of the script but keep getting the same error of metainfo-license-invalid followed by filters-but-no-output.

I’ve done some research and previous issues flagged all seemed to be because a mismatching id was used in the metadata as shown here and here but that doesn’t seem to be the case with the metadata in this one as it matches the name (com.chitubox.Chitubox).

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Quick link to the metadata is here: chitubox-flatpak/desktop/com.chitubox.Chitubox.appdata.xml at main · rmonk/chitubox-flatpak · GitHub

(Yaml file is also on the Github, new users can only post four links otherwise I would have linked here)

Note: In order to get this to build on the Steam Deck I had to run the commands as usual omitting --user and also running sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/bwrap beforehand as the bwrap namespace is disable by default on SteamOS.

metadata_license can’t be proprietary.

Currently, the following licenses have been reviewed and can be used as metadata licenses: […]

Changed the license to ‘MIT’ and that resolved the issue.

Thanks for the help!
