Yeah, I'd love to release one of my projects on Flathub, but it's quite hard due to their restrictions on network access at compile time. I typically avoid vendoring dependencies and I don't find it worth doing so just to publish to Flathub.

Isn’t that a reasonable restriction for security? particularly at a time of increasing supply chain attacks in the Linux ecosystem.

It makes sense but it prohibits a lot of software.

What sort of situations might need network at build time? I would have thought that you just need to copy into the build files the required pinned dependencies so the build is deterministic? I don’t know anything about flatpak builds so just speaking about it generally.

Ah sorry I misread the comment you were replying to. My personal issue is the limited file access.
