There's been recently some confusion in #postmarketOS as GNOME Software is still on version 45. The main reason is that the simple plugin: github.com/Cogitri/gnome-softw… we use for APK has not been updated to follow GNOME Software's library changes. If anybody is interested in helping with maintenance for that project, I can provide guidance and reviews, and we will all be very pleased!

Did some digging, and it turns out that GNOME Software's plugin API has changed quite a bit. It's not stable (intentionally so since most plugins are meant to be in-tree), so I wonder if maintaining an APK-specific plugin is a bad move. Perhaps it would be better to instead make a PackageKit implementation for APK, so that Software can communicate through the PackageKit plugin?
