Research direction

The payload names no source files, so start by finding where the launcher builds its widget picker list in the Kotlin code. Install the Lidl app and compare the picker against Android 14's default launcher to confirm which widget providers are missing. Done when Lidl's widgets appear in Fossify's picker, which likely depends on how the app queries installed widget providers.

Feature description

Hi
I was trying Fossify Launcher that looks really good but it has an important issue for me. Some widgets of some apps are not avalaible in Fossify Launcher.
For example I have the Lidl App on my phone and it supports some widgets. If I use the default launcher of Android 14 on my phone, I can add widgets of Lidl app on my screen. If I use Fossify Launcher, Lidl app is not even listed in ones offering widgets.
Thanks

Why do you want this feature?
