Is it just me, or is packaging for Flatpak a nightmare?

I'm trying to package and publish a tool I've been working on, but for the life of me, I'm struggling with Flatpak.

It's a wails app, that relies on webkit2-4.0 and some additional libraries that are not present in any of the Sdks I'm using. (javascriptcore, etc...)

To get those libs, I tried building the app AND webkit itself against the specific platform. But since webkit takes such a long time to build, I'm running in circles.

Welp.

Then let's ship your PC, that's how containers work, right?

Yeah I think you need a dock though, or if you don’t have the money to buy a dock, I think you can rent one of those POD containers. Still trying to figure out how to connect to this guy’s computer though, they locked it and I don’t know where to DL the libs for it

I think the key for it is stored in that hashish corporation's vault.
