Unable to install on Gnome 43 #37

What is happening

Unable to install extension. Accessing the extension under Gnome 43 at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4413/improved-osk/ - extension is marked as "Incompatible".

Issue seems to be due to change to metadata.json file. Appears this file has been modified (and modified version uploaded to extensions.gnome.org) since the email notifying issue #30 was sent.

More information I installed the extension via https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4413/improved-osk/ earlier this morning. The extension installed, could be activated, and worked without issue. About half an hour ago, I attempted to reinstall the extension in the same way (I had to roll back my system to a snapshot from yesterday, due to an unrelated issue). When attempting to install Improved OSK via https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4413/improved-osk/, the extension was marked as "INCOMPATIBLE" on the website.

I noted the only file that has been modified on Github between the two attempts at installing was metadata.json; I am assuming the issue has to do with the Gnome version in this file. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the installed version of the extension from earlier today to verify this.

Environment:

Additional context Have you been running your system for a while, or is it a fresh installation? System has been running for roughly a month.

Are you running any other extensions that might interfere with on-screen keyboard? None that I am aware of (see above re two installations of Improved OSK extension).

Does journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat show any errors?

Can you see any errors in looking glass? (Press Alt + F2, enter lg, switch to "extensions" tab and click "show errors" for Improved OSK extension): No, as extension not currently installed

Happy to continue testing, or assisting in any way I can.

I had to take down version 11 that was released yesterday. It was targeting older Gnome versions, with which it is no longer compatible with. Version 12 only targets Gnome 43, has passed code review a few hours ago, and is now available at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4413/improved-osk/.
