Gnome Software keeps showing "No Application Data Found"

Gnome Software remains empty (the Explore tab) for me since I upgraded to Fedora 36 Beta about a month ago. I have installed all available updates since then, but nothing changed. I have also tried sudo pkcon refresh force -c -1 (killed gnome-software before) , deleting the cache in ~/.cache/gnome-software and disabling one 3rd party repo that does not have f36 version available yet. The only thing I got was that a progress bar showed for a few seconds when I opened gnome-software, but then it went back to “No Application Data Found” state.
What else can I try to fix this problem?

Update using sudo dnf update
sudo pkcon refresh force
sudo dnf update --refresh
then see if does not try to reinstall gnome-software if that does not work

‘flatpak update’ too

no changes after I tried all of this :confused:

did not help either, but there were some warnings:

$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.

Well… without any further action from my side, as of today the Explore tab in Gnome Software loads properly. I do not know what changed. Basically the only thing I did last time which I did not try a number of times previously was the flatpak update command. But right after running the command there was no change.

Anyway, thank you all for the help!

I think

This two worked as you make restart packages updated and issue resolved.
Edit because your system components are with .rpm not in flatpak. Flatpak is user added and it never touches system even it does not require sudo so it does not have a lot of access in system so it should not be the case that flatpak update solved the issue.
