It would be good to verify our flatpak package's connection to our homepage. See https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/verification/

Basically, Flathub would provide a unique token and we'd have to place this token in a plaintext site https://www.widelands.org/.well-known/org.flathub.VerifiedApps.txt to show that the flatpak package is officially provided by us.

I was able to generate the token. I guess it's like a public key, as it's supposed to be posted at a well known URL, so here it is:

9773ed19-f742-45a7-9ecf-2108d1ab7ae3

I'm not sure how long it will be valid though, because the next step at flathub when I click continue tries to fetch the VerifiedApps.txt file from widelands.org.

Didn't we need two tokens? One for beta and one for stable?

I think it's more secure if you send me this token as PM…

I think flathub-beta is meant for testers only. AFAIK beta builds are not advertised neither on the main flathub.org site, nor any other place. That's why I like to post on WL.org when I do an update. (oh, yes, last night's update should've already been announced :)

Otherwise it's treated as the same project (just another branch in the github repo), and they only listed a single entry for Widelands in the developer settings page.

I checked the token creation again, and it gave the same token.

Should work now: https://www.widelands.org/.well-known/org.flathub.VerifiedApps.txt

The implementation might get changed in the future, but the URI will not change.

Thank you. I was able to finish the verification process on flathub, and Widelands is now listed as verified.

I'll leave this open until the final changes were committed

<@>Nordfriese <@>tothxa will be anything changed with the token?

Otherwise we will close this.

I'm not aware of any reason to change it. The documentation doesn't say anything about expiration.
