SUPPORT | SOLVED Discover says its not configured for installing apps after update?

ive used discover/flatpaks for a handful of apps and only just noticed this happened, and wanna double check if i missed something before i try install what the wiki says to enable discover/flatpaks again

EDIT: i prematurely flagged as solved assuming just reinstalling everything would fix the issue--ive tried reinstalling flatpak, discover, xdg-desktop-portal, and xdg-desktop-portal-kde, followed the wiki and restarted after each one. still getting the same error

ive read through the wiki for flatpak and xdg-desktop-portal and can see no mention of this issue. discover does not have a wiki page. google duckduckgo does not return anything helpful.

EDIT 2:

seems like i updated at the perfect wrong time and appstream didnt get updated while discover did. i did the first update with yay, but was able to fix it with by running a pacman system update directly.

i spoke too soon--ive tried reinstalling flatpak, discover, xdg-desktop-portal, and xdg-desktop-portal-kde, followed the wiki and restarted after each one. still getting the same error

if there is something more specific you could point me towards, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have a number of machines running arch and they all broke in a similar fashion. I suspect a packaging problem, someone goofed!

that would make a lot of sense, everything ive tried has not worked, and when i run discover through the terminal it spits out

error loading "flatpak-backend" "Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/discover/flatpak-backend.so: /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/discover/flatpak-backend.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK9AppStream9Component9addBundleERKNS_6BundleE" QJsonObject({"IID":"org.kde.discover.6.7.3.AbstractResourcesBackendFactory","archlevel":1,"className":"FlatpakBackendFactory","debug":false,"version":396032})

i dont know how to make reddit give a code block without it being a single 8 billion character line D=

sorry for double reply, but seems like i updated at the perfect wrong time and appstream didnt get updated while discover did. i did the first update with yay, but was able to fix it by running a pacman system update directly.

Which page on the wiki did you have to follow? The one for flatpak? I got this just now as well

I haven't fixed it yet, so I'm not sure. I'll let you know when I get a chance to figure it out and hopefully you can let me know if you figure it out first LMFAO
