Thanks yet again Mattias. I'm edging closer to the goal post, I believe.
Now there is a missing category:
Running appstreamcli compose
FB: Running: appstreamcli compose --prefix=/
--origin=biz.smartassociates.sdf
--result-root=/mnt/array0/work/Smart/Smart_Framework/flatpak/.flatpak-builder/rofiles/rofiles-NeUyJn/files

/mnt/array0/work/Smart/Smart_Framework/flatpak/.flatpak-builder/rofiles/rofiles-NeUyJn/files
Only accepting components: biz.smartassociates.sdf,
biz.smartassociates.sdf.desktop
Processing directory:
/mnt/array0/work/Smart/Smart_Framework/flatpak/.flatpak-builder/rofiles/rofiles-NeUyJn/files
Composing metadata...
Run failed, some data was ignored.
Errors were raised during this compose run:
general
E: filters-but-no-output
biz.smartassociates.sdf
E: no-valid-category
What category tag, and what valid options?
I should point out that I've tried searching for docs on these things
before reaching out. I've also entered some other apps, looking for hints
as to how they do things. For example, I tried entering the "pulse effects"
app ( flatpak run --command=bash com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects ) and
searching its /app/share/appdata/com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects.appdata.xml
... but there is no "category" example here to be found.
