For reference, here's the file [1], which validates correctly:
$ rpm -ql rstudio-desktop | grep metainfo
/usr/share/metainfo/rstudio.metainfo.xml

Gnome Software ingests a gzipped XML file that is built and shipped inside the appstream-data package. For new applications to appear in Gnome Software, that package needs to be rebuilt and the appstream it ingests needs to be rebuilt as well. Currently, rhughes is the person who knows/has access to that. The F34 appstream will be built sometime before release (I think there has customarily been a freeze exception for the appstream-data package in past cycles), but I would suggest opening a bug against the appstream-data component in bugzilla asking for a rebuild for all affected releases.
I'm not sure what exactly the rebuild process is like for it, but it would also be nice if it could be moved to some automated system in the Fedora infrastructure, so it can be more easily done (I think the package even claims it is rebuilt weekly - which unfortunately isn't the case currently, since I think it is only rebuilt when requested).
