Yeah, there seems to be automated pull requests to fix this, they just need to be merged/released. I've been meaning to see if I can figure out how to at least build that PR locally, cuz I need to get this going again.

[hubick]

To get the PR running on my box, first I needed to install these:
[root ~]# dnf install flatpak-builder
[root ~]# flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Sdk//3.36

[hubick Documents]$ git clone [email protected]:flathub/com.amazon.Workspaces.git
[hubick Documents]$ cd com.amazon.Workspaces/

If you look at the latest pull requests at https://github.com/flathub/com.amazon.Workspaces/pulls and open the latest, you'll see it says something like "flathubbot wants to merge 1 commit into master from update-d0d595c". You can checkout that update like this:

[hubick com.amazon.Workspaces]$ git checkout update-d0d595c

[hubick com.amazon.Workspaces]$ flatpak-builder --force-clean --user --install build com.amazon.Workspaces.json
[hubick com.amazon.Workspaces]$ flatpak run com.amazon.Workspaces

@hubick as you have gone through the whole process, maybe send a PR that bumps the runtime to 40 instead of 3.36 and we can make the bot auto-merge updates to avoid such failures in the future?

@bilelmoussaoui I've never built a flatpak. I was able to

[root ~]# flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Sdk//40

and I modified the json, but it won't build:

[hubick com.amazon.Workspaces]$ flatpak-builder --force-clean --user --install build com.amazon.Workspaces.json
error: org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/40 not installed
Failed to init: Unable to find runtime org.gnome.Platform version 40
[hubick com.amazon.Workspaces]$ flatpak-builder --force-clean --user --install build com.amazon.Workspaces.json
error: org.gnome.Sdk/x86_64/40.0 not installed
Failed to init: Unable to find sdk org.gnome.Sdk version 40.0

And I have no idea how to bump versions or updated any of the releases stuff I see in the XML.
I also don't understand how bumping Gnome prevents such failures.

You also need the Platform bits to run it, flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Platform//40. This should let you build it locally at least. The update to a newer runtime won't prevent such failures yes, but as the runtime is End-Of-Life, we can't use it anymore to build new version that's why all the bots's merge requests are failing and can't be automatically merged
