This adds new FlatpakTransaction API, and a new top level CLI command to preinstall flatpaks, that is to install flatpaks that are considered part of the operating system. A new drop-in directory /etc/flatpak/preinstall.d/ allows configuring what apps should be preinstalled, and a new flatpak preinstall command installs and removes apps based on the current configuration. A drop-in loupe.preinstall file can look something like this: [Flatpak Preinstall org.gnome.Loupe] Branch=stable IsRuntime=false The corresponding API is flatpak_transaction_add_sync_preinstalled() which can be implemented by GUI clients to drive the actual installs on system startup.
