I can adopt the package. I use grayjay desktop on daily basis. Expect updates when youtube video playback stops working on my end. Currently playback on v11 (it still shows v8 in settings) works for me for the first 59 seconds of the videos.

Is there anyone who would adopt this package? I would do it myself and try to be speedier with updates, but I am still trying to understand PKGBUILDs, so I do not think I am the right person technically.
I have not given up yet, but if anyone has the know-how and time, then it would be appreciated.

Downloading the PKGBUILD and just updating pkgver to 10 as suggested by the flagger and running updpkgsums did not successfully install the package. I also tried changing pkgrel to 0 for good measure and trying to find the correct numbers on Grayjay's website, but to no avail. Instead, it threw the same error as the out-of-date version:
Failure processing application bundle. Bundle header version compatibility check failed. Header version: -2046820352.3872520 A fatal error occurred while processing application bundle
The only thing that got Grayjay running for me is a DD from their official site.

It would probably be a good idea to follow @An-dz advice, since the current approach also breaks updating of the package via. pacman.
The "Check if run for the first time" condition is not met after an update, so the updated version of the app is never copied into the ~/.local/share/Grayjay.
An-dz commented on 2025-08-23 06:01 (UTC)
If the point of copying the executable to the user dir is just because Grayjay saves the preferences and log files in the dir it's on, you can simply delete the Portable file and it'll save them under ~/.local/share/Grayjay

Conflicts with 'grayjay', missing from PKGBUILD

You can also run updpkgsums inside cloned repo and it will pull all sources and write their sums into PKGBUILD.

You can do below steps and it is working for me
step-1 You can clone
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/grayjay-bin.git
Step-2 After clone
cd grayjay-bin
Step-3 Modify PKGBUILD following sections
source=("${_filename}.zip::https://updater.grayjay.app/Apps/Grayjay.Desktop/Grayjay.Desktop-linux-x64.zip")
sha256sums=('733b5a70fb33f7bc5dada6c7727f2f665c253d5c73054d2acaf5f515ec82b43a')
pkgver=6
Step-4 After this execute in terminal
makepkg -si

This was the only one of the 3 AUR packages that worked for me, but the application seemed to have trouble updating itself. I grabbed FUTO.Updater.Client from their current Master on github, and replaced it with the one I had, updated the permissions for the file, and it seems to update itself fine now.
Unsure if this is intended or not. I think there was an issue with their previous updater, and they released a new binary for it.
- Disregard. I just tested this on my laptop, and it worked fine.

Sorry for the unreliable builds recently. I've spoken with Futo about the generic latestversion.zip downloads and have been advised about versioned links which they don't officially publish. Hopefully that should finally resolve the issue of this package breaking when a new release is published to the same download URL breaking checksums.
