The app stopped working once I upgraded to Gnome 45

Doesn’t look like it has anything to do with GNOME, but rather that a python library version has shifted underneath you.

Did you use the installer? If yes try reinstalling.

If its a distro package, report it to your packager.

I tried both reinstalling and uninstalling and installing again, via pacman.

Cool.

Installing python-types-python-dateutil fixed it.

If you didn’t already, as @paperdigits says, please report the bug to whatever distribution you are using. If the bug is not reported, it will not be fixed. Packaging is difficult and time-consuming. The kind people doing the work need all the help they can get from such bug reports.

I posted this, together with the solution, to the Arch Linux forum. I’m not sure if there is more that I can do.

If you had to manually install a python package, that package should be added as a dependency

Thanks.

I did not see a bug report filed against the appropriate package, so I filed it myself:
