Description
I just moved from Fedora Worstation 34 to Fedora Silverblue 35 Beta. Installed Chrome from flathub-beta, added the write acces permissions but still get this when trying to create shortcuts for apps:
**This Flatpak does not have write access to ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.local/share/icons, so it cannot install or uninstall PWAs.**
I tried adding the overrides using this command:
`flatpak override --user --filesystem=~/.local/share/applications --filesystem=~/.local/share/icons com.google.Chrome` and also using flatseal, see screenshot:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the shortcut creation failure on Fedora Silverblue 35 Beta with Chrome from flathub-beta, using the shown flatpak override and Flatseal permissions. Check whether the requested application and icon paths are writable, and consider the issue done when creating and removing shortcuts no longer reports missing write access.
