Hello everyone,
I’m trying to use flatpak to distribute a commercial application with a self-hosted flatpak repository. I’ve got almost everything working now, the only issue I still have is that Discover states that the application is developed by an “Unknown author”. I’ve tried both the <developer/> and <developer_name/> tags in the AppStream metainfo file, but neither had any effect.
Does anyone know which properties I need to add to my metainfo file to have Discover show the developer name? Currently my metainfo file has the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component type="desktop-application">
<id>io.volkert.multi_streamer</id>
