Add io.github.elevenhsoft.WebApps

[elevenhsoft]

Please confirm your submission meets all the criteria

• Please describe your application briefly.

• Cosmic Web Apps is simple app to manage web applications created from your web browser with isolated profile from given URL. It works with most of mainstream flatpak web browsers.

• I have read the App Requirements and App Maintenance pages.

• My pull request follows the instructions at App Submission.

• I have built and tested the submission locally.

• I am using only the minimal set of permissions. (If not, please explain each non-standard permission.)

• Unfortunately I was trying to reduce permissions to minimum but I need some rw access to ~/.var/app to write browser profile there like firefox for example which will allow you to isolate it from your main profile. Also rw access to xdg-data/application for creating desktop files user-wide.

• All assets referenced in the manifest are redistributable by any party. If not, the unredistributable parts are using an extra-data source type.

• I am an author/developer/upstream contributor of the project. If not, I contacted upstream developers about submitting their software to Flathub. Link: https://github.com/elevenhsoft/cosmic-wam

• The domain used for the application ID is controlled by the application developers either directly or through the code hosting (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, SourceForge, etc.). The application id guidelines are followed.

• Any additional patches or files have been submitted to the upstream projects concerned. (If not, explain why.)

These should be a direct link to the image https://github.com/elevenhsoft/WebApps/blob/7b4b0c5dcbe670c4da1d4cb71a5f913b5f93bd2d/data/io.github.elevenhsoft.WebApps.metainfo.xml#L34-L43

Also make them from a tag instead of master like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elevenhsoft/WebApps/0.3.4/res/screenshots/window-icon-picker.png

Oh I see. Sorry for that. I will make a correction.

[elevenhsoft]

I made some changes locally for now and tested repo linter but got this:

"appstream-screenshots-not-mirrored-in-ostree"

I'm not sure how to deal with it tbh.

[bbhtt]

You can ignore that.

[elevenhsoft]

Awesome. So now I assume new tag, and updating the manifest.

[elevenhsoft]

Done

I don't think it is working? The install some browser drop down is showing nothing.

If I press create after entering title and URL it says ERROR webapps::wam: Error reading web app: Cannot read web app launcher.

[elevenhsoft]

Yes it's working but you probably don't have any flatpak browsers installed. It works only with flatpak.
About this error. It's lack a check probably because I should not allow create launcher if browser is not choosen. So launcher is malformed.

Yes. It's definitely require this check.

Please install some flatpak browser first and check again. It's working just fine.

[bbhtt]

Ok yea the VM didn't have a Flatpaked browser. It works with Firefox from Flathub.

[elevenhsoft]

Nice. Glad to hear it works for you. I'm gonna make a new release soon with some fixes but I hope it will be pushed further ^^

I recommend bundling Papirus icon theme instead of downloading it over network. This way your app won't need the network sandbox hole.

[barthalion]

The search dialog for icon doesn't seem to work, I get a panic. And now, when I re-launched it, it downloads icons again.

[barthalion]

Looks like there's no feedback that an icon is required – clicking the create button doesn't do anything, and neither of the icons buttons seem to work.

Not sure if this is specific to my environment (Fedora 39 Silverblue), but it doesn't seem to work correctly for me.

The network permission is for downloading icon via Favicon. Some icons are not in papirus icons, and they are downloaded via internet. I know I need to improve downloading favicon a bit but for now it works.

Maybe something broken while installing icon theme. Kind of weird. I did a lot of changes recently, will I be able to update this PR with newer tags?

Yes bugs may appear. I could not be able to catch them all alone. I tested this on many distros as well configurations and worked. However I made a lot of changes and bug fixes lately, please look at master branch: https://github.com/elevenhsoft/WebApps

Unfortunately still struggling with one bug so I can't push it here yet but when I sort it out I will update PR.

In summary. What's need to be changed to go public? To be honest I hope to get more interested from outside with different configurations to fix them all. I can't catch all the possible bugs, even if I tried.

Swap https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/5212/files#diff-29744291e26d21ae2b07178dd67be5e930c96f2ce6755768980e9dfab84be277R45-R46 for standalone commit pointing to the commit you would like us to test and ship.

In summary. What's need to be changed to go public?

At the very least I would like it to be functional on my system to make sure I know what we're distributing.

[elevenhsoft]

Ok, I got it. Thank you for your tests. I will fix dropdown bug in my app (i don't know if it's libcosmic thing or my app, i'm investigating it) and I will be back. Sorry for confusions.

Hey, I'm gonna install silverblue and test there. After many changes it should work correctly but I'm gonna see what's the case. If everything will be correct on my side I will update manifest with new version.

[elevenhsoft]

@barthalion Hi again! :)

I just tested silverblue. Yeah. There was an issue with home directory. I was looking for /home/USER location and here it's in /var/home/USER

So now I'm using $HOME env in this case to recognize proper location. It works. I did also pushed my latest changes with many improvements.

Please check again. Make sure you have browser installed via flatpak.
