    Hi all,
    when using Image Selector, and browsing for app icons, I can't see system apps in the list. This is frustrating ex. for Samsung users, which have Whatsapp or Facebook as system apps.
    Any hints?
    Thank you!

    You're totally right. I need to change the way it fetches the apps. It's not getting system apps so as to not overpopulate the list with useless apps. But I need to find a better way to filter the apps.

    Still an issue. Besides system apps like radio it also skips overwritten apps like YT changed into YT: Vanced.

    I'm also sure most people would prefer choice of all icons regardless of some useless crap. Since you can simply search for the app you want anyways... And now many app icons are completely unusable, unless you e.g. download them.

    EDIT: but ofc the best solution would probably be a simple switch for filtered/non-filtered apps.
