In Flatpak builds, flashing firmware from file using the file chooser does not work.

Tested with 1af26db, on a PinePhone running postmarketOS,
when the file chooser button is tapped or clicked,
nothing happens within Siglo's UI,
and the Flatpak file chooser portal error in the screenshot below is seen.
I keep forgetting you have to manually bump the flatpak version each time you re-tag. Try it now and report if it works or not, please.
I rebuilt my siglo.flatpak, from b54a4e7, installed it, and still had the problem.
@thomas-profitt I'm using the flatpak on postmarketOS v21.03.1 and it works fine for me.
Given the error message, maybe you are missing the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk or xdg-desktop-portal package? On pmOS v21.03.1 it's a dependency of postmarketos-ui-phosh so it should be installed by default. I have not tested on pmOS Edge.
If you are using pmOS Edge, and both packages are installed, it might be a bug in how phosh interacts with D-Bus, when phosh is started with dbus-run-session /usr/bin/phosh?
Note: with xdg-desktop-portal you should not need to run the flatpak with host filesystem access.
Edit: I've now also tested the flatpak on a fully updated postmarketOS Edge, and I didn't get any problem. Do you still have this issue?
closing since question was never answered and it seems like this problem is not reproduced
