I can confirm the crash. I've tried switching to the QMLwidgetmodel, but only get an empty window in sway. I've created a hack around this, which lets me use albert under sway. It can be found at here. Sorry I don't really know enough about wayland and X11 to do a proper fix.

Thanks @cycomanic and @johanhelsing for the fixes!

I tried it and now I can run Albert again on Fedora 31

To build on Fedora 31:

git clone git@github.com:johanhelsing/albert.git # Fork to fix another Wayland issue
git checkout wayland-crash-fix
cd albert
git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
cd plugins
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:cycomanic/plugins-1.git
git fetch
git checkout origin/dev
cd ..

# Make sure you have all the dependencies you need (or the equivalent packages on your distro):
sudo dnf install cmake qt5-devel qt5-qtcharts-devel muParser-devel python-devel

mkdir albert-build
cd albert-build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
make
sudo make install

Edit: I think I might have spoke too soon. It doesn't crash anymore and I can access the settings page but I can't get it to launch.
Edit 2: Spoke too soon again. albert show from the terminal works fine, it just doesn't appear if I use the menu on the status bar icon. Now I just need to work out how to trigger albert show with a hotkey since I don't think its configurable at the moment with these changes

This is a wayland issue. The app is not really ready for wayland yet. Ill close this one since there are dozens of wayland issues.

_{Note: I wrote this comment as fast as I can to master the current pile of work. If I missed the point or you have other objections please open a new issue.}
