SUMMARY It would be great if the QtRemoteObjects module could be added to the KDE flatpak runtime. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: 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!

Great, thanks a lot!
