Bangle.js Gadgetbridge App Loader not loading catalog

[stanelie]

I have this weird issue where the catalogue of the app loader wil not load anything within bangle.js gadgetbridge on this new install on a Android 10 phone.

On this same phone, I can load the App Loader site (https://banglejs.com/apps) without issue in Chrome and connect it to the watch, and install and remove apps without issues. The problem is with Gadgetbridge only. GadgetBridge is connected and working for everything else (healts stats, weather, notifications...)

Thoughts?

You say it's a new install - did you change any settings on it at all, or it's just as-is?

Did you try clicking Refresh under My Apps and see if that helps?

I guess it's possible that on a new install of Gadgetbridge it may be attempting to sync all of the health data it had stored, so for the first few minutes it might be too busy doing that to respond to the request for app info?

Well,
Waking up this morning, the issue is gone. I didn't get the chance to test this last suggestion. Oh well...

Oh, I noticed that this morning, I was presented with the pop-up to chose between the bangle 1 and 2 for the first time. This didn't happen before when I was having the issue.

Glad it's sorted!

Ok, that's an odd one - if that didn't happen before either it had remembered your last answer, or maybe there was some error executing the script for the app loader. It could have been corrupted, or I guess maybe it was just some network error that caused a file not to get loaded?
