False positive "cannot open app"

Bug Reports

Although my apps open fine, if I go back home immediately after opening any app (within a second or so) I get a pop-up saying “cannot open app” from Niagara.

Please allow disabling this pop-up feature if our apps do open fine. The current system of detection if home screen is still open within a certain time captures false positives.

    Since Google has reverted the change that made it necessary for us to detect whether the app was actually launched after the user tapped on it, we have reverted the check and dialog.

    You should no longer see the dialog.

    Please let me know if that is not the case.

      Was there an update pushed to the app? I'm not seeing it yet. Launcher is still giving the false positive pop-up when I exit any app fast

      It seems like the change has propagated now, I'm no longer seeing the pop-up
