Description:
obs-studio 28.0.2-1 does not open on Wayland session of Gnome unless qt6-wayland package is installed.
Here is the output in the console:

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Aborted (core dumped)

Additional info:

update to obs-studio 28.0.2-1

This is nothing specific of obs-studio. Any Qt6 application will behave the same way. That's why qt6-wayland is an optional dependency of qt6-base

OBS should not crash when qt6-wayland is not installed, it should run on Xwayland instead. This is what happens to Strawberry music player built against Qt6, for example.
