Same here in Fedora 34
Reproduced w/ Arch latest
Im getting the same issue on Ubuntu 20.04 with very similar steps and electron version 15.1.1
seems similar to #1702
I got the same issue. I managed to make it work by installing some flatpaks things :
sudo apt install flatpak flatpak-builder elfutils
sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
sudo flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//21.08 org.freedesktop.Sdk//21.08 -y
sudo flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/19.08 org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/19.08 org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp/x86_64/stable -y

I'm now using Fedora as my daily driver and still doesn't work. I have installed those flatpaks and still don't build.
I can't get this to work either...
Interestingly, I'm trying to build a flatpak using electron-builder --linux flatpak
and I get the exact same error. I tried changing node / npm versions: no luck. Also installed the flatpaks suggested by @jochy above: no luck. I'm on Ubuntu 21.10, node 16.11.0, npm 8.1.0. Perhaps @malept has an idea?

I'm not using electron-builder for flatpaks anymore.
You can create your own .yml file and use flatpak-builder build file.yml --install --force-clean --user
command.
Here is the example that I made: https://github.com/flathub/com.rabbit_company.passky
If you make it like that, you can also publish your flatpak to their official repository.
Thanks for the tip! But are you sure we should close the ticket? It seems like this is still a bug in electron-forge

I will open it, but to be honest you will never see flatpaks distributed as files. There will always be downloaded from the repository. So the way I have suggested it the only "correct" way of making and distributing flatpaks.
On websites for projects that support Linux, they usually provide .deb, .rpm, .appImage, but never .flatpak. They will always link you to the flatpak repository.
Whats the satus on this one?
There are good reasons to want to build a flatpak as part of the regular CI, some of which are: being part of the same CI pipeline, using the same options, tooling, pre-processing, and so on (I don't think explaining the benefits of a consistent build pipeline is necessary).
There are also good reasons why a flatpak wouldn't be distributed on Flathub, some of which are: internal tooling, or app in beta trial, or simply not wanting to.
A lot of (betas, alphas) flatpaks are distributed outside of Flathub.
Treating the bug like that is not the right course of action, but if there's no interest in fixing it, claiming Flatpak support is misleading, and it must be removed from the doc.
The following works for me:
sudo apt-get install -y flatpak flatpak-builder elfutils
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
git config --global --add protocol.file.allow always
Replicated on fresh Manjaro KDE install, simply running this command fixed it for me:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Replicated on fresh Manjaro KDE install, simply running this command fixed it for me:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
This did it, feel free to close it unless it doesn't work for someone else.

Worked for me, thank you.
