Does the version of GNOME Shell need to be explicit?
Nowadays (and for a while already) new versions of Tiling Assistant only support the latest GNOME Shell version; maybe the previous version as well, if the effort to keep the compatibility is low.
I guess that would mean AUR users would have gotten updates to Tiling Assistant that broke their extension if they were on older GNOME Shell releases. So far I haven't gotten any complaints about that... so either Tiling Assistant doesn't have a lot of AUR users and/or AUR users get newer GNOME Shell versions faster than Tiling Assistant updates to the new releases. Either way, if the version should be explicit I could add it to my release script.

Okay, it seems like the "official" AUR-PKGBUILD doesn't require an explicit version of gnome-shell.
Should've checked it first.
I thought, since you had it in your old one, I would put it back in. On the other side, Arch keeps a rolling-release principle. And if users wanted to keep something like gnome 3.38, it's their responsibilty if they want to keep older software running.
It's up to you, if you want to use an explicit version or not. If you think, it's not needed anymore, remove it.
Otherwise you can keep it without issues.
The edited PKGBUILD has been tested and packages the extension correctly as expected.
