I have just tried installing flatpak (following the instructions at https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpak/main) and then angelfish, but I find that the device reboots after installing angelfish. I thought at first that I had the same problem as @edp17 at #374 but it is in fact the opposite one: angelfish is installed, and I can start it with

Code:

flatpak-runner org.kde.mobile.angelfish

but there is no Angelfish icon in the app grid or Angelfish entry in Flatpak Runner. I believe that it is the installation of Angelfish that causes this, because I then tried installing the runtime first, giving me this starting point:

Code:

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ flatpak list --user
Name                                 Application ID                                         Version         Branch
default                              org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default                                    19.08
KDE Application Platform             org.kde.Platform                                                       5.14
Maliit plugin for SailfishOS         org.kde.PlatformInputContexts.MaliitSailfishOS                         5.14

and then did:

Code:

[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ flatpak install --user -vv org.kde.mobile.angelfish

If I do

Code:

flatpak remove --user org.kde.mobile.angelfish

this also causes a reboot.

Any suggestions gratefully received. I am running SFOS 4.0.1.48 on an Xperia X F5122

EDIT: I tried the same with the Telegram app, and found the same: reboot when installing, no icon and no entry in Flatpak Runner. Also a reboot when uninstalling Telegram, but when I then uninstalled the package org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full that Telegram pulled in there was no problem. This must be something to do with the wrapping-up of the install/deinstall process of an app, but I don't know enough about flatpak to say more than this. I'll need to find the time to acquire some flatpak-fu I guess....
