The application starts but it doesn't change the wallpaper never.

This is a verbose log: https://hastebin.com/uwanocadus
Reading the log seems like the problem is that it doesn't download any background:

Is it supposed to work on Wayland?

I think so, the wallpaper change is the same.
In any case, the problem is with online sources. If I select one local source it works.
