Applications not being found

Hi

I am using Alfred (installed from Mac store) Version 1.2 (220). and while most applications come up in search - most iOS apps do not show i.e.: stickies, calendar, terminal, etc.   I have searched the forum and tried the known documented fixes in the thread below with no success.

 

My Configuration:

Mac OS: Catalina 10.15.5

Alfred Version 1.2 (220) - installed from app store

Alfred 1 is ancient, get version 4 from https://www.alfredapp.com.

interesting - downloading now - wonder why this version is only one showing on App Store ? 

Update: Following Tsunami advise to delete Alfred installed from App Store and installing v4 direct worked.  thanks

Later versions were never put on the App Store. I think it's because Alfred 2 and newer have a bunch of features that simply aren't allowed under Apple's crippling sandbox and restrictive App Store rules.

 

It's the same for a lot of "power user" applications. Those that are available on the App Store typically need you to install a helper application from their own site to do things like set up global hotkeys.
