Are there any versions of this app that work? I've tried at least four different versions that are all broken. It's hard to believe that its so difficult to make a web app work. This is basic functionality built into the shittiest devices you can buy.

Just FYI, parsing ls output is pretty error-prone. I recommend replacing the existing command for setting _INSTDIR to something like $(find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "GoogleMessages-linux-*").

I was able to activate tray support by prepending the following flag --tray to the nativefier.

During the build, this message mv: missing target after file '/tmp/trizen-robson/google-messages/pkg/google-messages/opt/google-messages' pops up and the build is aborted.

EDIT. It turned out that in order to build the package I have to give the command LC_ALL=C makepkg -sirc, because my system has the Polish language set.

In case others run into the same issue with no tray support. /opt/Google-messages/resources/app/nativefier.json has a "tray" boolean flag.

I am not getting any tray support in KDE. Is this working for anyone else?

It's just saying that new versions of nativefier have come out since you've built this package. The solution is just to rebuild the package. Since I've updated to 1.3.0, that should happen anyway.

Edit: Ironically, the new version 1.3.0 doesn't change anything and in fact is just a newer build, fixing someone else that had this same exact error on MacOS.
