For the icon to work correctly, it needs to be copied from there:

/var/lib/flatpak/app/sh.cider.genten/x86_64/stable/active/files/share/pixmaps/sh.cider.genten.png

to here:

/var/lib/flatpak/app/sh.cider.genten/x86_64/stable/active/export/share/pixmaps/sh.cider.genten.png

Then, for the kde integration with the media player widget, use flatseal to modify the permissions under the Session Bus:
Talks:

org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player

Owns:

org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.cider

Then the media player widget will appears whenever cider isn't stopped. The multimedia keys will work too.

I copied the icon according to your instructions but unfortunately it didn't help, I still have the cogwheel which is annoying.Folder at the end of the "/var/lib/flatpak/app/sh.cider.genten/x86_64/stable/active/export/share/pixmaps" pixmaps was empty but coping sh.cider.genten.png here had no effect. My system is Ubuntu 24.10, anyway flatpak Cider works fine, debian version can't connect with my Apple Music account , after successfully logging in Cider declared that I was not logged in and the replays ended the same way so I installed the flatpak version. In my second Linux Mint 22.1 system where I installed Cider's flatpak first there was no icon at all - just empty place with text "Cider", so I installed an Apple Music icon which I think fitsbut but now I have the original icon so maybe I'll make a change. Thanks for sharing.
