Same issue here.

I received a popup notification that updates were available. When I clicked on the Launch Discover shortcut, nothing happened. The Discover icon was still in the notification area. Double clicking or right clicking and selecting Launch Discover from the notification icon also did nothing.

I rebooted and manually ran eopkg update. After the update, Discover still will not launch and the notification icon was no longer in the notification area.

Launching plasma-discover from the terminal gives the same warning as OP and hangs. Eventually it does return and also prints the following error:

Warning: Setting a new default format with a different version or profile after the global shared context is created may cause issues with context sharing.

Same issue here with a fresh install of 4.7 KDE, updates and epoch done. I've run plasma-discover --backends packagekit,fwupd,kns,flatpak and Discover started but launching via the app icon hangs.

This is a known issue. See that Known Issues post for the workaround.

Unfortunately, this is something that needs to be fixed upstream.
