Summary of the issue you are facing:

When more apps update are available they are notified in Nextcloud.
When i click on the Notify I can see the App update page with the listed apps.

When more then one app is available for update and are listed I use to click on the most top update button. This button I suppose should update all apps in the list but it update only the first one app.

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

I can confirm this.

It’s not really a problem to update each app individually, however if an “Update all” button is provided, it should work as advertised…

This usually happens when some apps have issues that prevent them from updating with the “Update All” button. A few things you can try:

  1. Refresh the app list

Sometimes the store cache gets stuck. Close the app, reopen it, and check again.

  1. Check if specific apps need attention

Some apps require extra steps like:

New permissions

License confirmation

Manual update due to major version change

These won’t update automatically and need to be tapped one-by-one.

  1. Clear cache (Store / Updater)

If you can:

Settings → Apps → [Store/Updater] → Clear Cache

Then reopen the store and try again.

  1. Check internet / power settings

If battery saver, data saver, or restricted background data is on, updates may pause in the background.

  1. Restart the device

A simple reboot sometimes resets the update queue.

If the issue keeps happening, note if it’s always the same apps that fail—those may have update permissions or compatibility issues that require manual approval.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the feedback, I agree.

Seems to be a bug
