Software repositories show 0 applications installed

The software repositories list shows all the software repositories, but the switch next to it is disabled. For each of the repos, it says: "0 applications installed". Looking at the code in gnome software, it looks like for apps to be detected as to belong to a repository, they have to be in the "related" section.

gs_app_add_related(repo, app);

I believe this was never working, so this is just a tracking issue.

Hm, the switch did work for me with GS-38 I think, but if we can fix it with GS-40 we should use gs_app_add_related.

Yes, the switches also work for me in GS-38, although the feeling is that as they do not have any apps, toggling the switches is a noop. Maybe should be a follow-up issue.

It looks like there are some additional functions related to the repositories that were added in GNOME 41: install, remove, enable and disable repo. I guess there are lots of chances that this is the reason for the visual regression (toggles not being switchable).

Still, as toggling the switches didn't really change anything before, at least this is not a functional regression, I believe.

Toggling the switches did remove the repository from /etc/apk/repositories, but I doubt anyone actually used that since it’s not very useful.

Well, I guess then I'll try to figure this out as a priority. Better not to introduce new bugs on upgrade :)
