Did you notice that it also works for the Fedora Flatpaks (thanks, Frank!) - basic proof of concept:
$ flatpak run --command=sh --filesystem=home --share=network --devel org.gnome.Aisleriot [📦 org.gnome.Aisleriot ~]$ DEBUGINFOD_URLS=https://debuginfod.stg.fedoraproject.org/ DEBUGINFOD_CACHE_PATH=~/.cache/debuginfod_client gdb /app/bin/sol
(Without the --filesystem=home and DEBUGINFOD_CACHE_PATH, the cache ends up in ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Aisleriot/cache/debuginfod_client/)
I think that's OK for a manual debugging workflow, since it's pretty rare to want to do that under flatpak in my experience. Normally what's most important to me is being able to easily generate a backtrace for a previous crash using 'flatpak-coredumpctl'. Ideally 'flatpak-coredumpctl' would handle setting the right environment variables and executing flatpak with the right permissions to make it work. (In the future, ABRT could do something similar.)
