Mihon sometimes stops detecting installed extensions
Steps to reproduce
Not sure yet. This just happens occasionally, and persists until app restart.
Expected behavior
When opening the app, installed extensions should be shown in the "extensions" tab.
Actual behavior
Installed extensions are not shown in the "extensions" tab (all extensions from repo show a download button instead of a gear icon), and "sources" tab only shows local source. "Migrate" tab shows "extension not installed" for every extension. Downloaded chapters are still readable, but non-downloaded chapters cannot be read.
Fixed by restarting app, but this has happened to me multiple times in the last few days.

I know this isn't a lot of details, I'm mainly posting so someone can tell me which logs to pull next time this happens so we can actually diagnose this.

Have you tried turning MIUI Optimization off in your Phone Settings > Developer Options, if you're on HyperOS, it might be hidden & you can search online for guide to find it.
Also, some versions of HyperOS in certain regions might have an additional OS change, where you need to go to Mihon app info (not in-app) and give it permission to view all apps on your device.
I'm on MIUI, not HyperOS. The battery optimizations were already disabled. I went into the permissions section and enabled Mihon to get info about installed apps "always" (the default was "only when running").
I'll update if I continue to see the issue, and if I don't see it within a few days I'll close this bug.
Battery Optimization isn't the same as MIUI Optimization, while you should have battery optimization disabled for things to run, MIUI Optimization is a different thing that causes different issues (such as extension-related ones).
If the "info about installed apps" change to always doesn't work, then try turning off MIUI Optimization to see if it helps
I also have the same issue on HyperOS
Mihon 0.16.4 should've made extension installation/updating stable, and the issue usually comes down to Xiaomi devices & their "optimizations"
For anyone having issues on HyperOS, either:
-
Go to Mihon app info (not in-app), then in Permissions > Other Permissions > Access List of Installed Apps, set it to "Always Allow" (This extra permission only exists in certain versions of HyperOS, if you don't have this, do the steps below)
-
Go to Phone Settings > Developer Options, and turn off system optimization/MIUI Optimization (If you don't see this setting, scroll down to the bottom of Dev Options, tap multiple times on "Reset to default values", and it should appear)
On MIUI 14 (at least on my build), the way to turn on "always allow" for accessing the app list is actually Settings -> Apps -> Permissions -> Permissions -> (Permissions tab) -> Get info about installed apps -> Mihon -> (Select "always allow"). That is, it doesn't show up under the app info permission settings, you have to go find the list of all the permissions instead.
After doing those steps the issue hasn't occured for me (it's been a few weeks), so I assume that fixed it.
