Notes:

• Please ensure your APPLICATION_ID is the same as your desktop file name if you're using Flathub.
• Please ensure you have added this section in your snapcraft.yaml file if you're using SnapStore:

slots:
  dbus-appflowy:
    interface: dbus
    bus: session
    name: `APPLICATION_ID`

• You can refer to these two repositories for more details: FlatHub setup and Snapcraft setup.
