Webex app (some help needed)

[Meister1593]

Since Webex doesn't really provide any other way than using deb's and rpm's (and on aur it requires basically critical library (libcrypt) downgrade as of now), i decided to make appimage for it.

I almost did it, but ran into the problem with validating .desktop file

They included version of app into Version of .desktop file, which is of course, incorrect

I tried changing it in script section, but it always failed no matter what i did, so i come here for help

I suspect this issue is probably related to pkg2appimage workflow, but i wonder if i might have misunderstood something there, or maybe there's some workarounds.

If this is gonna be resolved, i want to make a pull request

Delete the Version=... line in the desktop file.

Delete the Version=... line in the desktop file.

i can't, it's inside deb file, i don't want to repackage it

[Meister1593]

Sorry for inconvenience, i didn't actually use the file i changed, it was in other place and i always tried building with same .yml file Issue may be closed, pull request for Webex app will be shortly

Value "42.3.0.21576" for key "Version" is plain wrong, though ;-)
