Flatpak Packaging
Adds full Flatpak build support for the Drop Desktop client, including a local build script, system tray library bundling, WebKit Wayland workarounds, and a companion CI workflow.
What was done
Flatpak manifest & metadata
flatpak/org.droposs.client.yml— Flatpak manifest using GNOME Platform 48, extracts the pre-built.deband bundles system tray librariesflatpak/org.droposs.client.desktop— Flatpak-specific desktop entry with correct/app/bin/pathsflatpak/org.droposs.client.metainfo.xml— AppStream metainfo for Flathubflatpak/org.droposs.client.svg— Scalable SVG icon (64x64 viewBox)System tray indicator fix
The GNOME Platform runtime does not include
libayatana-appindicator3(used for the tray icon). Added these libraries as bundled file sources in the manifest:libayatana-appindicator3.so.1libayatana-ido3-0.4.so.0libayatana-indicator3.so.7libdbusmenu-glib.so.4libdbusmenu-gtk3.so.4WebKit Wayland workarounds
Added these environment variables to

flatpak/build.sh— Full automation: builds Tauri.deb, prepares libraries, runs flatpak-builder, optionally creates portable bundleflatpak/prepare-libs.sh— Copies required system tray libraries from host system (works on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.)flatpak/prepare-deb.sh— Symlinks the versioned.debto the predictable path expected by the manifestCI workflow
.github/workflows/flatpak.yml— Companion to the main release workflowrelease: [published]: downloads the.debfrom release assets, builds Flatpak, uploads as release assetworkflow_dispatchwith tag: same as releaseworkflow_dispatchwithout tag: builds Tauri from source, then builds Flatpak, uploads as workflow artifactLocal frontend serving
