5. Optionally, a plugin can also have the "MinimumAppVersion" property set, restricting it to only appear and be installable on versions of Flow Launcher that meet or exceed the specified version number. For example, setting `"MinimumAppVersion": "2.0.0"` ensures the plugin will not show up or be installable on any Flow Launcher version older than 2.0.0.

Flow downloads the manifest (plugins.json) file from various CDN providers, which means the availability of your new plugin depends on when these providers sync their updated files. This syncing process can take several days and sometimes up to a week across all providers. During this period, you may see intermittent updates for your plugin in the manifest, as the provider chosen for retrieval is selected randomly based on the fastest fetch speed.
