AppLounge does not respect "install only with WiFi"

  • /e/OS version: 3.0.4
  • Device model(s): a52q
  • Impacted Application: AppLounge

The problem

With "install only with wifi" and "update apps automatically" (every day) enabled AppLounge starts updating apps automatically on WiFi; but if the wifi connection is lost, it also resumes the app download without respecting the lack of WiFi connection, using mobile data. This could will lead to a huge amount of data usage.

Steps to reproduce

  • enable "install only with WiFi" and "update apps automatically" in AppLounge
  • disconnect wifi
  • reconnect wifi after 1 days, AppLounge usually starts updating apps
  • disconnect wifi
  • clear AppLounge notifications and wait till AppLounge starts resuming the apps'download using mobile data
