desktop/flow-typed/npm/electron_v22.0.0.js
339–343	Sorry, I should have caught this when adding (single-keyserver) encrypted notifications to desktop -> types in `flow-typed` are types for specific libraries and shouldn't be mixed with our types (in this case the `keyserverID` and `encryptedPayload` fields). Could we (potentially in a different diff) remove them and only keep the `+[string]: mixed` and add a check in JS code that checks if these fields exists.

Approach changed - we are moving with this proejct as it is and will fix desktop regression as a separate project.
Fix types in electron_v22.0.0.js

In general the code looks good but there is one major problem: if someone doesn't update their desktop app they can still run a newer version of the web app.

This diff breaks the API between webapp and electron code by adding changing the arguments to the onEncryptedNotification (adding the keyserverID as the last argument would probably be fine). But the bigger problem is handling of this edge case with encrypting notifications...

desktop/src/push-notifications.js
146 ↗	(On Diff #38052)	At this point the `encryptedPayload` must be a string. So I don't think the `showNewNotification(userInfo, handleClick);` will ever run. You should probably check for `if (!userInfo.encryptedPayload)` first.
156–157 ↗	(On Diff #38052)	Don't we need a `typeof keyserverID !== 'string' \|\| typeof encryptedPayload !== 'string'` check here too?
