Hello.  
I’m trying to install my custom app on self-hosted shopware 6 shop. I’m using shopware version 6.4.20.2 .  
I’ve created app in custom/apps/MyExampleApp and placed there manifest.xml file. So my app consist of one manifest file: custom/apps/MyExampleApp/manifest.xml

```auto
<manifest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shopware/shopware/trunk/src/Core/Framework/App/Manifest/Schema/manifest-2.0.xsd">
    <meta>
        <name>MyExampleApp</name>
        <label>Test label to MyExampleApp</label>
        <label lang="de-DE">Test label DE to MyExampleApp</label>
        <description>Test description to MyExampleApp.</description>
        <description lang="de-DE">Test description DE to MyExampleApp.</description>
        <author>Test Developer</author>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
        <license>MIT</license>
    </meta>
</manifest>

```

Now I’m trying to install it with bin/console app:install --activate MyExampleApp and getting error  
`[INFO] Could not find any app with this name`  
I can’t understand why I can’t install test app? Look indo docs and it telling me, that app must be installed in such way…

Would be appriciated for any help.

Not sure if there is a app:refresh, at least for plugins it is necessary to let Symphony scan for new plugins.

Maybe still try plugin:refesh

Nope. Shopware just doesn’t see my plugin. And doesn’t shows it in the list. No any errors, just doesn’t see it.

bin/console plugin:create MyTestPlugin  
bin/console plugin:refresh

Yes. Plugin creation process works without any issues. Only my custom apps not working. Apps from shopware store works.
