  • use only a specific folder (for example, app's .config folder)
  • update manifest

One solution could be:
CMakeLists.txt

option(USE_FLATPAK_APP_FOLDER "Use the flatpak app's config folder, so the app doesn't require access to the user's home" OFF)

app.c

#ifdef FLATPAK
use_default_flatpak_folder()
#else
get_folder()
#endif

manifest.json:

"config-opts": ["-DUSE_FLATPAK_APP_FOLDER=ON"],

Flatpak hardening

when using flatpak, the user can't select a location for the database. Instead, the app's config folder will be used.
In this way, the app doesn't need access to the user's home filesystem.
