How do I get more details about these error codes? Where is the issue report that appstreamcli talks about?

Hi, I’ve encountered the same issue. Were you able to fix this?
Your categories in your metainfo file are invalid/unknown.
Could you please clarify what you mean by “categories” here? How do I define it in my metainfo file?
Thanks
I believe some desktop environments (like KDE and Cinnamon?) have a start menu where applications are sorted into standardized category submenus.
As for your second question, I find GitHub to be a helpful source of real-world examples:
