Troubleshooting flatpak build with GstPipelineStudio: filters-but-no-output and gui-app-without-icon

I used to build properly flatpak nightly on my CI job but since a while I’m getting the error

(Answered on matrix)

This is due to the desktop file not being installed with the .Devel suffix matching the app-id and the Icon key in it also not having the icon name with .Devel suffix.

Everything must match the appid.
