App list not updating after install/uninstall #8

Hi my uncle noticed that app list is never updating when you install or uninstall apps

It takes 10-15 min

This is a known issue. The Flutter plugins that Elder Launcher uses to load app and contact list don't notify on additions and removals. So, Elder Launcher reloads app list every 5 minutes and contacts every 10 minutes.

Current solution: Do manual reload from the edit menu (pencil icon). It contains "Reload App List" and "Reload Contact List" buttons.

In future, I'll write a native plugin to solve this issue.

I intend on keeping this issue open until I fix this. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

This is fixed in #11. Changes will be in v1.4 of the app.
