It seems that version 54 only supports gnome-shell 45 [1], which is still in development at the moment.

It might be preferable to remain on version 53 until gnome-shell 45 has been released and is packaged.

In the mean time, downgrading with something like `sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator-53-1-any.pkg.tar.zst` works as expected.

When rebuilding the package after adding '44' to shell-version array in metadata.json, Gnome gives the error:
"import declarations may only appear at top level of a module"

Could it be possible, that the extension-codebase, how it is presently, is not compatible with the libraries used in Gnome 44,
which could be the reason why it got removed and only marked for Gnome 45 compatibility?

@Veldora the upstream authors stated that on one of his commits. The new versions are really not compatible, not just because the metadata is wrong.

Untested packaging from @kpcyrd, and no feedback/reply from @kpcyrd in a week or so.

Great, thanks. It's not like people use Arch on their desktops with GNOME or anything.

Please remove your scripts handling automated packaging, or at least introduce a manual verification step before it commits, @kpcyrd.

@pschichtel oh, my bad. Didn't see that commit then.
