If you look at the top commit at https://github.com/flathub/org.gnucash.GnuCash/ <https://github.com/flathub/org.gnucash.GnuCash/> you'll see a little green check next to it. Hover on that check and it shows the three GitHub Actions that drive flathub publishing. They're build-aarch64, build-x86_64, and download-sources. All passed, meaning that there's an aarch64 build floating around somewhere, but all of the steps past pushing to that repo are automatic and somewhat opaque.
