I didn’t find any more info but see this news article from September 2019:

FLIXTRAIN confirmed on September 23 that it is planning to enter the Swedish market with the aim of launching new services from Stockholm to Gothenburg and Malmö in 2020.

A poster here says that at least some of their assigned schedule is cancelled until Aug 30, which is short after the track closure between Malmö and Lund. So it would surprise me if they start before August (between Stockholm and Gothenburg they could start in mid August after the track closure in Stockholm), rather they might continue to push the launch forward until they are ready.

I'm probably coming a bit late but there are Flixtrain-branded trainsets parked near Gothenburg Central, so it seems the project is still moving forward and hopefully going to launch soon (although personally I'm not a fan of Flixanything but more competition is always a good thing :)).
