Installed Apps list loosing items

i have found that over time, the installed apps list with begin to shorten.  It seems to drop some apps over time, and I don't know why.  I had 30 + items in my installed list only for it to stop sending me updates.  When I went to check I had 5 items in my list.  I have had it happen a few times now.

I don't know what other info would be needed for this.  Please let me know if you need logs, more info, etc.

Checked my library today and only one app was in it: the Mitch app.  I think it might be removing them from the library if I update them from the notifications without opening Mitch itself.  That seems to be likely.  I will test next time I have an app update.

The possibility of app updates removing stuff from the library is interesting.

There is also a “database cleanup” task that runs every 24 hours which checks if an app is actually installed on the system, and if it’s not installed, it’s removed from the Mitch library menu. Normally that code should never run anyway, because apps should be removed from the library instantly as soon as they are uninstalled. Maybe that “sanity-checking” code triggers a false positive and deletes stuff for no reason. I will look into that a bit later.

Hello, I appear to still be having this issue. Has a solution been found?
