Flatpak installs outdated version of 1Password

For some time, running flatpak update was showing errors for me that the version of 1Password in the remote is older than the version installed. My version installed was 8.9.13.

To resolve it, I tried to uninstall 1Password, removed the remote and followed the steps here https://support.1password.com/install-linux/#flatpak. The result is I ended up even with version 8.9.10. The current version according to https://releases.1password.com/linux/ is however 8.10.7. Is Flatpak distribution still supported way to install 1Password on Linux desktop? If so, what is the expected schedule to get new updates available via Flatpak, please?

1Password Version: 8.9.10
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Linux, Fedora Silverblue 38
Browser:_ Not Provided

    @1Password team, I imagine you probably cannot release any details on why the delay, but is it likely to happen? I'd like to Swap from the deb based installer to the Flatpak version but I wouldn't like to do it if is more likely to lag behind on the Flatpak version on the future

    With the rise of immutable distributions such as Fedora Silverblue and many others, Flatpak support is going to become more and more critical.

    I can see most desktop Linux distributions moving to an immutable model over the next 5 years.

    Greetings, AliH1P

    I don't know the reason for the problems you are having with Flatpak, I think one problem you may be having is due to the dimensions of the 1Password icon.

    Flatpak requires the apps icon to be fully square, I tried to create a 1Password Flatpak and found which icon is not fully square, which prevents it from being built.

    Hey folks, this being investigated but we do not have further updates at the moment.

    As Gem mentioned, we would recommend reinstalling 1Password with a different installation method for the time being.

    Your patience is greatly appreciated as we work on this.
