[Bug] Keeps getting stuck syncing repositories

[vertigo220]

Describe the bug Multiple times now, it's been stuck showing one or more notifications saying "Syncing" and "Syncing ... repository..." Tapping "Cancel all" does nothing, and even force closing the app doesn't make it go away, which makes zero sense.

To Reproduce Have the app auto-update repos

Expected behavior It should update the repos successfully in a timely fashion or, if there's some issue, abort after a reasonable amount of time, and it should absolutely cancel when hitting cancel and definitely not continue even when the app is force closed

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Relevant information:

• Device: Samsung A71
• Android Version: 13
• ROM: One UI 5.1
• App's Version: 1.0.5
• Disabled battery optimization for Neo Store? Yes
• What is your selected installer? Default session installer

I got tired of the same notification being stuck showing for days so I uninstalled the app, and the notification still didn't go away. I'm guessing it won't until I reboot, but I find it very strange and confusing how an app could have a notification persist even past uninstall. I suspect it got hung by the system, and so I'm not even sure how much of the issue is with this app vs Android, but it's also the only app I've had the problem with, and it's happened multiple times.
