since a little while, my app lounge isn’t starting any more. I have got a fairphone 4, did the systemupdate to 1.0 on 26 May. Afterwards, successfully installed some apps thtought the app lounge, but since a few days, app lounge isn’t working any more (it appears to start but then dissapears again without showing the app’s starte screen.).
App Lounge has a known issue that you may have to do this:
Settings > Apps and notifications > Show all apps > top right, 3 dot menu > Show system > App Lounge > Storage > Clear storage/data.
I do not find that I store any data that I need saving, but it will go and I get a “fresh start”.
Meanwhile Advanced privacy which you might have " tested" might not (I speculate) stop all settings when you turn it off.
I do not really want Advanced privacy, I feel I have reasonable control over things with TrackerControl and my own judgement. So I turn it off. Maybe I have to Power down to enforce my decision. I do that.
Then:
Settings > Apps and notifications > Show all apps > top right, 3 dot menu > Show system > Advanced privacy > Storage > Clear storage/data.
App Lounge isn’t working for me either when Advanced Privacy is on. I ended up disabling it and installing TrackerControl but I think it’s a bad UX having 2 OS features that don’t work together.
