eOS 8 : Greyed out "uninstall" or "show in appcenter"

[teamcons]

What Happened?

I am just noticing right now that the menu does not offer to uninstall any app, nor show them in appcenter

The issue is there whether it is a systemwide flatpak app, user flatpak app, or pre-installed app

Steps to Reproduce

Install eOS 8
Install an app through appcenter
Open application menu
Right click on app
it grey :(

Expected Behavior

Options for uninstalling or showing in appcenter

OS Version

8.x (Early Access)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

Let me know what to run :/

Hardware Info

Intel® Core(TM) i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz
Intel® HD Graphics 620

This happens when the dbus interface for appcenter is unavailable, which probably means appcenter isn't running in the background.

I wonder if it's possible we can use dbus activation here so we don't have to depend on appcenter running in the background and can just launch it in background mode ourselves?

I guess alternatively, do we need to use appcenter for this at all? Now that we don't support PackageKit in appcenter maybe we can just use Flatpak ourselves directly here?

Ah... I did not tinker with anything
It happens whether AppCenter window is open or not though. But i remember also uninstalling this way at some point with this install
From an user perspective it feels very random, unreliable and frustrating

That would mean there are two different parts of the system fiddling with flatpak. I hope there wouldnt be any issue when two processes are doing their thing with the same exact thing

On my install, there are several sessions, so stuff is installed system wide, so idk if theres a need to check permissions / ask for password ?
