a friend is trying to report a crash they had yesterday in my flatpak app and i must say the entire experience is like the opposite of intuitive or easy. As far as i know, you need to install something like org.gnome.Sdk.Debug//47 (plus maybe the app's), then do the magic flatpak-coredumpctl incantation, and maybe manually give it network perms on top.

I honestly felt reluctant to even explain it, is there some easy way that I don't know about?

@YaLTeR it would be nice to have a flatpak debug subcommand that atreamlines all that

@YaLTeR
You can pass --include-sdk & --include-debug to `flatpak install` to automatically get the correct sdk / debug extension for the app.

@refi64 that's handy, thanks.

Curious, why is --include-{sdk,debug} installing more things than --include-debug, even though --include-sdk on its own installs nothing? Seems like --include-debug by itself omits org.freedesktop.Sdk.Debug which seems like what you'd want here. And on the contrary, Compat.aarch64 seems undesired?

(fiu is flatpak install --user, --c-{a,b} is shell expansion into --c-a --c-b)
