@antrmn From a quick read over the changes, it doesn't appear that anything needs to be done in GSConnect to support GNOME 47. (For once!) I'm hopeful things will Just Work™.

@ferdnyc Just got Gnome 47 in Arch Linux, and it does not work. Please see my screenshot on https://wolfgang.lonien.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-From-2024-09-19-10-56-01.png - and the remark "Outdated" on the Gnome extensions site: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1319/gsconnect/ Thanks.

Looks like the current version works fine after disabling extension version validation with gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true.

Didn't test it extensively though.

@wjlonien Yeah, sorry, with version checking enabled we just need to bump the version in the manifest. #1866 will do that.

In the meantime, if you'd like you can download the build artifact from that job at https://github.com/GSConnect/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/actions/runs/10944970767/artifacts/1954164179 and install it using the wiki Install from Zip instructions.

I just tested it with an Android device. Working fine.

Works perfectly fine with extension validation off.

There's an issue in GNOME 47 with the extension not auto-starting at boot. I have a hard time reconnecting the extension to my mobile device automatically when on the same network; now, I need to unpair and pair the both of them to work properly.
