This is because Granite.Settings is only available since 5.4.0, while the available grantie on universe of Ubuntu 20.04 is 5.3.0.

Consider building and installing the granite 5.4.0 (or above) and then try building of AppEditor, or use newer Ubuntu versions.

thanks I was able to build granite 5.4.0

sudo apt install gobject-introspection libgirepository1.0-dev

then downloading 5.4.0 and installing it via:

meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja
ninja install

finally I was able to build and install appeditor :)

ow anyway the minimum granite version had been change hahaha
