Issue: Gear Lever won't load or install AppImages

[MaCroX95]

So I'm having this weird issue, I went ahead and installed fresh copy of Fedora 40 Silverblue and on my laptop Gear Lever worked fine and then I re-did basically same installation procedure on my main PC and Gear Lever won't load AppImages. It worked for me on this PC on the previous Fedora Silverblue install.

EDIT: My setup is Fedora 40 Silverblue, all AMD hardware, running stock kernel and current MESA drivers, nothing special going on there.

This is how it looks when I try to open AppImage with Gear Lever, only infinite spinning circle, doesn't move forward:

And this is the output that I get from terminal when running the app through terminal.

flatpak run it.mijorus.gearlever

Could anyone help or assist with troubleshooting?

UPDATE: This seems to be a regression in latest versions, updated back to 1.5.X series and works fine now.

Thank you! Really awesome utility app! All other AppImage "integration apps" went to deeply into the system and caused nothing but trouble for me, including performance issues... This does just enough and works great!
