Summary: Discover does not warn about new Flatpak permissions
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Unlike gnome-software and regular `flatpak update`, KDE Discover does not warn
about when an app that's being updated gets a new permission.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check the updates page when there's an update to a flatpak that requests a
new permission
OBSERVED RESULT
No warning about the new permission
EXPECTED RESULT
It should show an indicator that the app is now requesting a newly added
permission
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Many people like me manually manage flatpak permissions, a silent update could
cause a security vulnerability to that user that creates a higher restriction
for their flatpaks.
