Unable to place the shortcut on homescreen (using miui launcher), the dialog to place shortcut never appear... I tested with other apps and they work fine. Edit: how am I able to place shortcuts using other apps like quick shortcut then?

Just getting started. I'm not able to create new popup widgets under Android 15 running on a pixel 8 pro. I can use popup widgets previously created but I can't create new ones. It was great while it lasted under Android 14.

Incredibly useful app, thank you! My only issue is that the selected item gets zoomed in and cropped, unlike it's displayed in the app (Pixel 7 Pro, Android 14, stock launcher). Also - not being able to remove the "parent" app's icon in the corner of shortcuts in this launcher - I wish there was an option to create a 1x1 widget instead.
