Custom App and Insights app is not showing up on apps page

Erpnext appears in apps page and in the defaults dropdown but other apps dont appear.
Solutions tried:

  • add_to_apps_screen in hooks.py

  • adding desktop.py in the config of the apps, to no avail.

  • crosschecked website, system, user and role settings, and all of them are set to blank (only erpnext appears as default app in dropdown)

  • Migrated bench whenever necessary, still no change

    My issue is the same as this post : LINK (it has a video for better understanding), however mine is with insights and custom app, and not erpnext, like in this post. I did not understand the solution given in the other post (Does not apply to my issue)

    I have attached relevant images, pls help me figure this out thank you.

Let me know if i should provide my hooks.py or desktop.py or any other code (I can only attach one image as new user so didnt attach here)

Just found out that one : Look at Desktop icon doctype
