For the first one, the changelog should be in the appstream file, you don't have it, so flathub doesn't see it. See the appstream spec, since freedesktop is down at the moment wayback machine!

For the second your project-license in appstream file is "wrong" (maybe not wrong, but not what flathub wants, there's lots or complaints on the internet how spdx changed from one to the other and how tools are breaking left and right because of it) instead of GPL-3.0-or-later should probably be GPL-3.0+ (most of our project use the second form and show fine in flathub)

Cheers,
