Before creating

• [X] This is NOT a gameplay feature from Civ VI, BNW, or outside - see Roadmap
• [X] This is NOT a gameplay feature from Vanilla Civ V or from G&K - If so, it should be a comment in https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/issues/4697

Problem Description

I noticed that the Flatpak is mentioned in the README, but Unciv isn't verified on Flathub. Would you consider verifying it to let people know it's an official package? Here's a link to the documentation on how to verify on Flathub https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/verification.

No response

Desired Solution

You could verify the flatpak by putting the verification token on the website.

Alternative Approaches

You could also verify the flatpak through the GitHub repo.

Additional Context

Verifying lets people know that the package is officially created by, or officially endorsed by, the original project. This makes people more confident in getting the package from Flathub.

I'm not the one who created the flathub app @MayeulC Can you can give me permissions to the flatpak so I can authenticate it with my github account?

This issue is stale because it has been open 90 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 15 days.

@MayeulC still relevant :) If you could grant me permissions to the flatpak I could authenticate this

Hey there, Sorry I missed the notifications. I've been busy, and they got buried under a pile of other things :/

I was actually looking into getting the Flatpak verified this evening. Unfortunately, I don't control the settings of the flatpak repository, so I will need to ask help from the Flathub team.

Another option would be to create a file at https://yairm210.github.io/.well-known/org.flathub.VerifiedApps.txt containing the following token: 7f709bf6-abe1-4ab3-b20c-effbf0baafb5, but I'll ask the Flathub team, they are usually quite responsive (much more than I am, anyway...).

I was going to open a dedicated issue for this, but we can also now set brand colors to be displayed on flathub.org, should we pick some?

Cross-link: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/issues/5559

Picking a color sounds like a good idea. I think it's required to be featured. How about "# 0 0 0 0 3 2 "? It's the color of the background in the game

Well, I was considering this one, but we also need a light one for light backgrounds. It could be the same color, desaturated and lightened, or something different, such as a lighter shade of yellow to go with the smiley face :smiley:

I will try to perform some other maintenance on the Flathub listing:

• Add release notes
• Use screenshots from the git repository

These will probably go together, as I will need to fetch the full git repository and upgrade the appstream xml with content sourced from there. All automated, of course, as I am far too slow to react, and Unciv releases far too often (which is a good thing :)).

@yairm210 I had not noticed before, but you were already added as a co-maintainer at the end of July: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/issues/5461

Are you able to login into flathub.org using your github account and verify the listing in https://flathub.org/developer-portal ?

Still can't :(

Can you see Unciv in your 'developer portal'? If so maybe the easiest way is to add you as an Unciv admin so you van verify

@yairm210 I can see it, but I don't have any settings to manage users.

This is the verification screen on https://flathub.org/apps/manage/io.github.yairm210.unciv

So I don't think adding me as an admin would help at all. I'll ask Flathub maintainers about this.

Another workaround would be for you to create a yairm210.github.io repository under your account, with the file suggested in the screenshot above:

# file in .well-known/org.flathub.VerifiedApps.txt
7f709bf6-abe1-4ab3-b20c-effbf0baafb5

This would create a personal "github pages" website for your account, with the indicated file living at https://yairm210.github.io/.well-known/org.flathub.VerifiedApps.txt Account GitHub pages are documented on the GitHub pages website.

It works, and verified!! Tell me if that's enough or if there's something else

@yairm210 Thanks! Did you end up going the .txt route, or did you refresh your account as hinted here (clicking "refresh" in the flathub developer portal, same line as "verified apps")?

We have to decide on colors, for the Flathub listing, but I can create a dedicated issue with mock-ups. I think this can be closed.

I refreshed the account
