ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I am developing an app based on Qt5 (borrowing some functionality from KDE Tier 1 frameworks - thanks a lot for these ;-)) which I, among other target channels, also release as Flatpak (which is build using the KDE flatpak runtime as a base - also a big thanks for this one).

In this app I use the QtRemoteObjects module: It is a cross platform approach for IPC. In that regard, somehow similar to Dbus. Currenlty, QtRemoteObjects does not seem to be part of the KDE flatpak runtime. I managed to install it manually during the build of my app, but that feels kind of hacky. I guess, this would be easier with future Qt versions (aka Qt 6) as then cmake is used for building Qt which makes building and installing Qt "core" libraries into non-Qt/system locations in such a scenario easier.

I still wonder, if QtRemoteObjects could be added to the KDE flatpak runtime?  I have no idea how heavily this part of Qt is used and if it is worth adding it, but personally, I found it really convenient, as it allows easy IPC in a really cross-platform way (i.e. also on Android).

Thanks for considering!
