Heya, I'd be up for doing this, just gotta find a free afternoon. I think I can be done before the official gnome 45 release. :)

There's also this helpful link for potential extension devs/contributors. If anyone gets stuck or needs a little help, the Gnome devs on their Discourse and Matrix channels are around to offer whatever help they may be able to provide. All details are in the link above. Good luck and can't wait for 45 to be released.

@retrixe great work man!

Is there any ETA for the new version?

It's been weeks since the release of gnome45, today I tried a patched version i found on AUR but it seems like it's not working properly, it's not letting me pair the devices

[derkrasseleo]

Wondering the same thing..

If anyone's waiting on Gnome 45 and are okay with using "test" software the latest nightly build works well on Gnome 45 so far; Here :)

i am on endevouros gnome 45.1 and my devices cant find each other

[derkrasseleo]

@Muspellheimr Can't confirm on EndeavourOS with gnome 45.1 and iOS as a client (Maybe try removing the certificates in the app)

@derkrasseleo Hey, i am new to Linux, and i only used GSConnect once before on Fedora and it just worked.
I must confess that i don't really know what you mean. (i guess i have to life with it not working)

btw. i try to connect EndeavourOS and Android

Can't really help you with android but somewhere in the apps settings under "Advanced Settings" (at least her on iOS) there are two options Erase saved devices cache and Delete host certificates, which makes the app "forget" all connected devices. Solved connection issues many times for me. If that doesn't work, probably check if you are really on the same network or if the network you're in blocks any traffic.

No idea, I'm not involved in the development of the project. I was just letting people know the nightly builds are a thing and from my own use, work on Gnome 45.
