This is a critical issue as it completely prevents multiplayer sharing if the profile is updated to a stale state and the app origin is no longer listed in the profile's apps array.

@jehunter5811 Thanks for adding this here. We want to address issues mostly here in GitHub so we get a good history and stats that we can follow through on.

Just an fyi. I updated my ublockstack plugin and problem was then resolved

@hstove Has this issue's solution been completely reviewed and as such can be closed in anticipation of release? If not, who'd be best suited to review?

This is still happening. Or it's happening again. I could not load any posts I had made on DPage, Sigle, or AirText. Turns out it was because those apps had been removed from my profile's apps array even though I clearly used them.

Here is my current profile.json:

Here is a screenshot of Sigle with a posts I have made:

Here is a screenshot of AirText:

Neither app is listed in my apps array, thus making those posts not load.

@jehunter5811 are you able to reproduce this? I.e. is it like the old issue, where you're logging in on multiple devices?
