I’m trying to package and publish a tool I’ve been working on, but for the life of me, I’m struggling with Flatpak.

It’s a wails app, that relies on webkit2-4.0 and some additional libraries that are not present in any of the Sdks I’m using. (javascriptcore, etc…)

To get those libs, I tried building the app AND webkit itself against the specific platform. But since webkit takes such a long time to build, I’m running in circles.

Welp.

    I managed to get it somehow working, but it got rejected by Flathub, because they don’t want me to build webkit and use the network during build (which I need)

    I’m working on resticity, a restic frontend.

      Not relying on the network during a build is pretty common while making an rpm package. It’s a pretty reasonable requirement to have. I’d suggest looking into what e.g. the equivalent Fedora package does.
