The returned list contains all available related refs, but not everyone should always be installed. For example, flatpak_related_ref_should_download() returns TRUE if the reference should be installed/updated with the app, and flatpak_related_ref_should_delete() returns TRUE if it should be uninstalled with the main ref.

Creates a remote based on the passed in .flatpakref file contents in ref_file_data and returns the FlatpakRemoteRef that can be used to install it.

Note, the FlatpakRemoteRef will not have the commit field set, or other details, to avoid unnecessary roundtrips. If you need that you have to resolve it explicitly with flatpak_installation_fetch_remote_ref_sync().

Remove all OSTree refs from the local flatpak repository which are not in a deployed state. The next time the underlying OSTree repo is pruned, objects which were attached to that ref will be removed. This is useful if you pulled a flatpak refs using flatpak_installation_install_full() and specified FLATPAK_INSTALL_FLAGS_NO_DEPLOY but then decided not to deploy the refs later on and want to remove the local refs to prevent them from taking up disk space. Note that this will not remove the objects referred to by ref from the underlying OSTree repo, you should use flatpak_installation_prune_local_repo() to do that.
