Crashes on inport in Pop OS 21.10

[Applejack01]

It opens fine, background music library sink starts and then crashes byte.
I'm using Pop OS21.10 Gnome 40.4.0

Same problem here on elementary.
When opening Byte, it starts library synchronization and closes.

OS:
elementary OS 6.1 Jólnir
built on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
com.github.alainm23.byte 0.4.2 stable flathub

Below are screenshots trying to open Byte in the terminal:

It tries to sync the library with the music folder, but then it crashes.

Same issue on NixOS …

Seems like this is an issue with the Flatpak itself and not specific to an OS considering it's happening on various flavors of Linux. I'm on Fedora 40 and do indeed experience the same thing. I ran it with strace and it does show a handful of errors.

Here are some of the errors:

I would share the entire strace output but it's fairly large and to sanitize it would be time consuming. I hope this is helpful, though 🙏🏼
