Some apps not hiding themselves #21

Hi,

Thanks for this project, it's a really good idea to help privacy minded people. I discovered Ripple thanks to Briar which has a setting regarding Panic Button Apps and directly redirects to your app in Play Store.

I managed to set everything up fine. Once I triggered Ripple F-Droid correctly hides itself (using a fake calculator app to recover) but Briar, Signal and Newpipe aren't doing anything. They are still in my drawer and there's still shortcuts in my launcher.

Is it a problem on their end or on Ripple's ?

I'm on Android 11 and I've already seen a lot of app not working correctly because of android 11 upgrade. Could it be the culprit ?

Thanks a lot for any input.

Although I'm little late here but currently ripple is getting bug fixed or any development at all, and the 2nd reason of certain apps not working currently might be related to them no longer supporting it cause the development seems at stall right now.

I know this app is great for privacy and that's why I'm gonna fork it and keep it in good shape for myself 😊

@NRG-600 if you fork & fix it, as it's open source, don't hesitate to share your work with others 😊 thanks in advance
