How do I make Phosh consider my app "mobile friendly"?
I'm working on an app for Linux phone operating systems like postmarketOS and publishing it as a Flatpak on Flathub. What steps do I need to take to make it appear as a "mobile friendly" app in the Phosh app grid? Currently I need to press the "Show All Apps" button for it to appear, which tells me Phosh doesn't consider it mobile friendly as it by default filters out desktop-only apps.

For store metadata, you'd be looking for the Device Support section of Flathub's documentation.
Notably the touch control:
<!-- Desktop AND mobile supported -->
<supports>
<control>keyboard</control>
<control>pointing</control>
<control>touch</control>
</supports>
and the display size
<requires>
<!-- Mobile/tablet AND desktop supported -->
<display_length compare="ge">360</display_length>
</requires>
Hopefully, that gets you what you need. If not, there are some older (perhaps deprecated) tags mentioned in this Foliate ticket.
