Linux: Plug-in pop-up says I need to update installer but I already have with Flatpak

What I’m trying to do

Every time I open Obsidian there is a pop-up from PDF++ that says “Outdated Obsidian Installer: Your Obsidian Installer is outdated and likely incompatible with the latest PDF++.” I have followed all the instructions for updating the installer, using Linux and Flatpak, but the installation was canceled due to “md.obsidian.Obsidian/x86_64/stable is already installed.” Okay, so I installed Warehouse and found out that yes it was still outdated (1.4.16) but again I could not update it via the terminal with an update or install command. I got frustrated so I installed 1.6.7 system-wide and used Warehouse to open 1.6.7. and yet the pop-up still happens.

The Flatpak page states “Pdflatex support in pandoc currently requires installing the org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive SDK,” is this possibly the problem? I’ve been attempting to install this but I get “Failed to install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive: While pulling runtime/org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive/x86_64/23.08 from remote flathub: Server returned HTTP 404.” I tried installing it via Warehouse and got back “not all apps were installed.”

Obsidian recently got a runtime update. You should be able to install texlive this way:

$ flatpak update md.obsidian.Obsidian
$ flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive//24.08
