Description Thibaut Renaux 2021-11-18 15:29:39 UTC 
After upgrading the Android app to version 1.18.0 from the Play Store, I noticed that a lot of apps are missing from the list of applications when configuring notification synchronization.

I wanted to filter out notifications from a game, but it simply doesn't show up in the list. After looking at the entire list I noticed it was missing the vast majority of the applications I had installed. Basically only the system apps show up in the list, and nothing else.

I have two devices with KDE Connect (a Pixel 3a running Android 12, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab A running Android 11), and the issue shows up on both. All the authorizations asked by the KDE Connect were granted and the accessibility service is also enabled, so I don't really know what else to do.

Also, and I don't know if it's related, but now when I get a notification from my phone on my PC, the application name doesn't show up, only the package name. So if I get a notification from the Clock app, instead of saying "Clock" it says "com.google.android.deskclock".

I went ahead and downgraded to 1.17.0 using the APK from F-Droid; I can confirm that in this version, all the installed apps appear as normal. To be sure I did a clean install of 1.18.0 instead of an upgrade, and the apps went missing again. This seems to indicate this is definitely a regression in 1.18.0.
