[Philip-Scott]

Can confirm, this is most likely the reason @cassidyjames was crashing. We might be missing a nullcheck in AppCenterCore

[donadigo]

@Philip-Scott get_package_for_id should never be called with id as null , but the method itself can actually be wrong, it needs some debugging anyway.

[Philip-Scott]

I think @GiltosMx wanted to fix it :) I bet that info will help, thanks!

[Philip-Scott]

I think that the problema is not that the ID is null, but that the package doesn't exist. That ID is taken from the Houston API. And it might be trying to get a package that doesn't yet exist

Resolved in #158
