The fiber will pause until the user has chosen an app package, cancelled the dialog or the timeout expired.

The list may include uninstalled apps which have kept their data, use the Is data only flag to exclude them.

To pick from a list with the same apps as shown in the launcher app drawer, similar to system Apps settings, use the Resolve activity block with action Main and category Launcher instead.
