On 22.04:

1. Install ASHPD Demo https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.belmoussaoui.ashpd.demo from Flathub

2. Within the app make a background portal request with auto start enabled (you must accept the prompt from GNOME Shell)

3. Note the contents of ~/.config/autostart/com.belmoussaoui.ashpd.demo.desktop is a desktop file, however the exec key’s value has an app id with quotes, making it invalid.

4. After logging out and in or restarting, the app will not already be running, even though it previously asked the portal API for it to be auto started.

The same steps can be repeated with EasyEffects from Flathub instead of ASHPD Demo, note the EasyEffects switch is named "Start Service at Login" within EasyEffects' preferences menu.

When the bug is fixed, the created desktop file for auto start is valid and the app will start after login.
