Describe the bug
When trying to integrate the AFFiNE or limusic appimage in the system using AppImageLauncher I get the following error: "Failed to register AppImage in system via libappimage". I checked out existing issues and most of the times its an issue with the appImage and not AppImageLauncher. Just wanted to confirm if that's the case here as well.
Expected behavior
The appImages should've been integrated with the system.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Download the appImage from the links pasted below
- Make them executable
- Double click to get the AppImageLauncher dialog
- Select 'Integrate and run'
