@ramoncardena: this pull request adds the AppImage from your GitHub repository to the AppImage catalog; the test reports the following. Could you have a look?

Please check that the screenshot shows the application's main window.

WhatsDesk

Tested:

• WhatsDesk-2.1.1.AppImage from release v2.1.1

Compatibility: not self-contained: uses the C library of the system; uses an old AppImage runtime that needs the C library (and libfuse2) of the system; references glibc 2.25

Warnings:

• The screenshot may show an error message; please check it.
• The AppImage contains no update information, so users cannot update it with AppImageUpdate or similar tools. Please consider embedding it when building the AppImage (e.g., appimagetool -u) and publishing the .zsync file next to the AppImage; see https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/optional/updates.html

Thanks for the review!

The screenshot from the first test showed WhatsDesk's built-in offline page: the CI environment has no internet access, so WhatsApp Web can't load. The app started correctly and handled being offline as intended.

Since then I've released:

• v2.2.0: embedded update information with a .zsync file on each release, and the static AppImage runtime (no more libfuse2)
• v2.2.1: AppStream metadata with a description and screenshots (the main one uses demo content for privacy)
