I'm not really using this package anymore, as I migrated to use https://gitlab.com/aar642/shadow-repackaged directly, but I don't want to change the upstream AppImage to shadow-repackaged as this may disrupt other users of this repo. I will continue to update the PKGBUILD until someone else wants to take over.

Finally got my issue resolved. None of the packages that got pinned after I unsubscribed helped. (although they motivated me to resubscribed and try again) I reached out to shadow support and said that they officially support Ubuntu but I couldn't get that working in a VM. (which was true) The person who responded directed me to a repo that helped a lot. https://gitlab.com/aar642/shadow-repackaged
In my case my issue was you can't run plex and shadow at the same time and once I stopped the plex service it worked like a charm. (Note: the Stable version over there didn't work for me but the Beta and Alpha work fine as well the package in this repo. @tionis I highly recommend pinning the link to that gitlab as it has a bunch of possible issues listed with workarounds for a lot of the popular branches. (Arch among others)

Some notes:
Some dependencies may be required and were reported by other users. They are not in PKGBUILD because I personally haven't had any issue running Shadow without these packages. I need more users' reports to confirm they are really required before putting them into PKGBUILD. So please try the following dependencies if you encounter errors, and please report here if these dependencies do resolve your errors.
