To whom it may concern: please do not flag the package out-of-date because it's not working with the latest GNOME release. If the extension is not working, it doesn't mean it's out-of-date. The [latest version released[(https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/releases/latest) is sometimes lagging behind so this PKGBUILD is strictly up-to-date even if the result is not working. As of GNOME 45, all of the extensions have been broken, please allow the developers time to update their project you like to use in your environment.

@Sherlock-Holo I pushed a new version, working on my side, I hope it will be working on your side too.

after updated to 44-4, the gsconnect can't work, in gnome-tweaks the extension is enabled but in the right-head menu, the gsconnect is gone and kde-connect in android can't see the PC

run lg and the gsconnect extension says error: CONFIGS.GSCHEMA is undefined

@RealOrRandom: For regular schemas files, that is correct. However, GNOME Shell Extensions are different. See the GNOME Wiki. Some extensions will not work without the compiled schemas in the extension folder.

This package should simply not ship the gschemas.compiled, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/56317158.

@postblue:

impossible to evaluation the schema

I'm not sure what that means. What happened exactly?

@j.r, @callmemagnus: I assume the .compiled file has not previously been part of the package, but was generated by some process after installation. Now that it is part of the package, you have to overwrite the file with the package supplied copy: --overwrite usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled.

I get the same issue as @callmemagnus

I tried to upgrade to version 44-3 but it failed. I then tried to remove and add it again but same error:

Did I miss a step ? Can I provide some info to solve the issue ?

@tdy I pushed a new revision, I hope this fixes the problem. @yochanammarqos Unfortunately I was not able to make your build work properly (impossible to evaluation the schema), but I applied some of your suggestions.

@postblue: Please use the following to avoid previously mentioned /usr/libexec/ as well as not installing the tests, enabling firewalld support and installing the schemas XML to the system:

build() {
  _uuid='gsconnect@andyholmes.github.io'

  arch-meson \
    -Dinstalled_tests=false \
    -Dfirewalld=true \
    -Dpost_install=true \
    -Dgsettings_schemadir="/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/$_uuid/schemas" \
    "$pkgname-$pkgver" build
  meson compile -C build
}

package() {
  DESTDIR="$pkgdir" meson install -C build

  install -Dm644 "$pkgdir/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/$_uuid/schemas/org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.GSConnect.gschema.xml" -t \
    "$pkgdir/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas"
}
