***
The latest build from cdn.kde.org (date: 2024-06-26) no longer shows up in Discord as an application. 

The issue appears to be happening since this commit: https://invent.kde.org/system/xwaylandvideobridge/-/commit/9d7e44433f6bc62bb2bcc58f56774fe8d54ba841

I build a version from the commit right before it, and it started working again perfectly.

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the latest version (2024-06-26 as of today)
2. Start it
3. Open/Install Discord
4. Launch xwaylandbridge (flatpak run org.kde.xwaylandvideobridge)
5. Join a Discord server voice channel and try to share the application

OBSERVED RESULT
The xwayland application does not show up

EXPECTED RESULT
The application should show up

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 24.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Discord made a change where they are running on wayland now, trying to screenshare will open their selector and spam the OS prompt but it will never actually work. To work around that add the following variable (using flatsail or something like that) when using Discord as a flatpak: XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
