Publishing my app to flathub
Flathub Discourse [Unofficial]

I’ve spent this last month making a new application called Symbolical, and now i felt that it was ready for a first release.
So.. I’ve never tried to publish an app to flathub before. I read the requirements and the submission process documentation, but then i made a few mistakes during my submission. I admitted so and tried to fix the errors i made and then before i even got to pushing my corrections i get this last response.:
Quote “It’s supposed to be in the folder when you are slopping your way through the PR. Don’t bother with a second slop submission not following requirements”
The Pull Request got closed and it seems my best efforts at trying to publish the app is now slop. And that i shouldn’t try to do it again.
my mistake was.. I put the manifest in a folder.. I was supposed to put it at the top level.. I added to many files to the submission. And i named the pull request wrong closed it and made a new one with the correct name.
I did ask chatgpt for some help during the process, but i wrote the entire manifest myself and i tested it.. It built and passed the initial automated testing. so.. huh.
Is my app really not worthy of being on Flathub?
