Just check your metainfo file with the appstream cli (the flatpak must be installed by you):

flatpak run org.freedesktop.appstream.cli validate Mark-versus-Paul-1.0.1.metainfo.xml

or if you already have flatpak-builder installed:

flatpak run --command=appstreamcli org.flatpak.Builder validate Mark-versus-Paul-1.0.1.metainfo.xml

The first line of the xml does not belong to your application but describes the XML-file and shouln’t be updated. Your version is solely defined under <releases>.

Non versioned URL are a bad idea. The content should never change on the other side. If it’s a new version it should be a new URL. (putting the version in the file name is an easy way to do that).
Add files via upload by xolatgames · Pull Request #1 · flathub/io.github.xolatgames.marknpaul · GitHub

The version was intended for the (GitHub) URL of your releases, not that you put the version into all file names. You want to keep the unversioned file names to simplify updates to your manifest (just change the URL & checksum & everything is done).

Thanks so much, cxrvh! It turns out was so simple! You can only envy my inattention.

And, yeap! I just rewrited this:

<?xml version="1.0.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>

To this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

And everything works successfully!

Thanks to you, bro! Stay awesome! :innocent::+1:t2:
