… and you already gave your thread the hashtag app-lounge … so you can simply click on that to focus say on this subject only.
This thread App Lounge not updating apps may also have its root in an older Android version … or on the possibility that App Lounge could repetitively become blocked by an “impossible” app in the “update list”.
Adjusted in settings, avoid auto update and update apps from other sources. (Why? The logic here being, with both on, you are not even present when App Lounge runs the Update list, one app fails to find an update, the defined job fails, App Lounge “jams” and then does the request repeatedly – the remote server may well get fed up with cease to tolerate this impossible situation.)
Part of the point of Clear storage is to remove the trace of a Token exchange which resulted in failure … with this “old token” on board, the job will ofc be dismissed by the remote server.
