Gnome-shell-extension-appindicator is broken with Gnome 48

Hello.

I lost my credentials to access to archlinux bugtracker, so I post here. Sorry for the "spam".

After migrating to Gnome 48, Gnome-shell-extension-appindicator is flagged as not compatible.

I work around this issue by adding 48 to  /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com/metadata.json

After this, I do a log out and a new login and I was able to activate it again. So a little patch to apply to gnome-shell-extension-appindicator until migrating Gnome 48.x to extra.

Hi
I have also install that gnome shell extension "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support " but on the path you mentioned above i don't have that folder "appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com"
But in Extension Manager the extension is mark as "installed" as you can see on screenshoot below:

If you installed the extension through the https://extensions.gnome.org you should be able to find it in:

~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com/metadata.json

You're missing a comma after "47".

You're missing a comma after "47".

You're right, now it works, thanks.
