Could you please provide more info? From the log below, it looks like you are using a flatpak version. Is this the one from flathub or from the KDE nightly repository?
Currently KDE Testing Applications -which I switched to after experiencing the fail to launch behaviour from the Flathub version. i.e both KDE Testing Applications 22.11 and Flathub version 22.11 fail to launch.

How else may I assist in giving you more info? Thanks.
Thanks for the additional info. I can confirm that the nightly is broken. This might be related to the fact that we merged a change into the master branch that depends on features which are not yet available in a released version of dependencies. I will have a look whether that's indeed the cause. If so, then the nightly might be broken for a while until those dependencies are properly released. The package from flathub still works for me.
> The package from flathub still works for me. Mmm, after updating the runtime, it also doesn't work for me anymore. It crashes with ``` Database version 6 QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component qrc:/main.qml:255:20: Type Kirigami.ContextDrawer unavailable file:///usr/lib/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/ContextDrawer.qml:180:17: Type P.ContextDrawerActionItem unavailable file:///usr/lib/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/private/ContextDrawerActionItem.qml:41:5: Type ActionsMenu unavailable file:///usr/lib/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/private/ActionsMenu.qml:18:38: Type ActionMenuItem unavailable file:///usr/lib/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/private/ActionMenuItem.qml:18:10: Non-existent attached object ```
Okay, it seems like it was a false alarm. Something in my flatpak setup got messed up. After I deleted all the runtimes and installed them from scratch all flatpaks are up and running, both the nightly and the flathub one. I would suggest to try the same: uninstall the runtimes and re-install (i.e. org.kde.Platform).

Thanks. I uninstalled the runtime, Kasts (and other apps dependent on the runtime) and reinstalled Kasts from Flathu, but Kasts will still not launch.
nb. io.photoflare.photoflare and org.kde.itinerary also depend on org.kde.Platform 5.15-22.08 and do launch.

One other thing that I just thought of: I also cleared out my settings and cache files when I completely reinstalled the runtimes. Maybe the clearing of the (qml?) cache actually solved the problem rather than the reinstallation itself? Could you try and remove the directory ~/.var/app/org.kde.kasts and see if that helps?
Of course the instructions above will clear out any saved progress. Be sure to back up the directory first if you don't want to loose it.

Yes, removing the directory ~/.var/app/org.kde.kasts did the trick! I did loose my subscriptions but a quick login and sync with Nextcloud had them back! Thank you! Closing.
