Just to clarify: everything else installs fine? And what do you mean by “couldn’t automatically update the second time”?

Yes everything else works fine.

By second time I mean after the first install icon was already stuck there (the first time I had to update the app). 

I then got a notification as usual, that there was an update for Mitch. But when I pressed the notification it simply disappeared and nothing happened. So I had to manually go the download page to download the update.

I tried to fix this in the v1.2.5 update. Unfortunately it is hard for me to properly test this, so we might just have to wait and see. Hopefully the upgrade from v1.2.5 to v1.2.6 will be smooth.

I made sure that whenever Mitch starts, it will remove any dangling “Installing…” installations for itself. So that garbage from your library should be gone now. And I suspect that this garbage is what caused the next update to fail. But again, I’m not sure.

Sorry to tell you this, but they are still there after the newest update...

I think I have an idea when they occur though. I think the install icon gets stuck when Mitch is still open during the installation. 

I've tested with the newest update by having Mitch installed on both my phone and tablet (both have experienced the bug in question). On my tablet I closed Mitch entirely down during the installation, and no new icons had appeared afterwards.  On my phone I simply had Mitch open in the background (so not even open on screen) and there's a new icon stuck there now.

By the way, when I choose "cancel" for these stuck installations, Mitch crashes (as in it simply closes the app). Something I forgot to mention.

Do you think I should just uninstall and reinstall Mitch? Or should I keep it this way for further testing? So far it's not that big of a problem after all. 

Interesting, thank you for providing details, I guess I still have more work to do.

Please don’t reinstall Mitch if you can.

Check out v1.2.6, I tried to prevent Mitch from crashing when you press “Cancel” on those buggy installations. Again, I can’t really test this on my device, so I’d like to hear your feedback.

Good news.

"Cancel" now works and I was also able to install the update normally through Mitch.

The installation icons still stick around after updating, but it's not really a problem since I'm able to remove them by pressing "cancel"  now.

Thanks a ton for the quick and effective responses. It's a great project you got going on here, and I want you to know that  I really appreciate all your hard work.
