After a fresh installation of Fedora Silverblue 43, applications installed through GNOME Software (Flatpak) do not display their icons in the GNOME app grid. The apps launch correctly, but their icons appear as blank/missing placeholders in the Activities overview and app launcher.
i did nothing but install apps from store

I installed fedora 41 and updated this to 43 i have never find any error like this
Today i reinstalled fedora silverblue which was using for last 2years or so .
After fresh install i enable 3rd party repo from software center and once done i restart and update system fully once updated fully i install brave and some other apps but app showing a executable logo instead of a actual logo of the app.
Turns out ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/ doesn’t even exist on this fresh fedora silvrrblue 43 install. This issue was not there in 41 and i have updated to 43 which i was using resently and had no issues
So my question is — is this a known regression in the Silverblue 43 install image? Feels like something in the first-boot setup isn’t initializing the Flatpak icon paths properly. It worked fine coming from an upgrade so something must have changed in the fresh install process.
gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor
this fixes the issue
