Missing app icon in flatpak release

Looks like the app is defaulting to an X11 icon rather than the Cider icon in the flatpak release!

I also am having this issue, maybe it is due to it running via xwayland due to it being a flatpak?

Looks like the icon is in the wrong place in the flatpak, so isn't being exported - it should be in /app/share/icons/hicolor/$size/apps, but is in /app/share/pixmaps (ref doc that lists the required location: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/conventions.html#expected-standards).

There's also a couple of session bus issues - it requires the following  to show the status (tray) icon and have working desktop integrated media controls.

[Session Bus Policy]
org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher=talk
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.cider=own

Unlike the icon, you can work around this before it's fixed by adding local overrides with Flatseal or the following commands:

flatpak override --user --talk-name org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher sh.cider.genten
flatpak override --user --own-name org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.cider sh.cider.genten
