The problem

Describe precisely the problem you're facing and add screenshots to illustrate

When I try to install anything using App Lounge, it fully downloads the application, then at 100% it does not install the application but instead says "Retry".

When I try to update an application, the same thing happens.

I have tried clearing the Storage and Cache of App Lounge but it does not fix it.

Steps to reproduce

  • Use App Lounge to install / update an application.
