Research direction

The payload names no files or entry points. Start by checking the Kotlin Android launcher for how it lists the user profiles and app drawer, then see how Android 15's Private Space is exposed to apps. Done means the Private Space entry appears where the reporter expects, it can be unlocked, and its apps can be launched. The issue is over a year old with no assignee or linked pull request, so confirm the approach with maintainers before starting.

Feature description

The “Private Space” introduced with Android15 is currently not supported by the launcher. I don't see the space at the bottom of the launcher and can therefore neither unlock the private space nor start the apps in it.

Would be great if the Fossify Launcher could support this.

Why do you want this feature?

Since my setup consists of a Personal Space for FOSS APPs, the Private Space for work things (also FOSS) and a Shelter-Work for all proprietary apps, it would be really great to have this feature in the Fossify Launcher.

Thanks for the great work and my very tidy Android thanks to Fossify.
