Thanks, that's helpful. Looks like this is limited to apps installed from local packages.

That's right, newer appstream has changed to not create appstream components from local desktop files.

Maybe we should force it, I think it's still possible, although we'll still have the same problem with packages that don't install a desktop file.

That's probably fine, but for packages that do, it would be nice to display them like other apps.
