1.pkill gnome-software (or reboot)
2.open "software"
3.no apps show
Actual Results:  
Upon opening, the message "No App Data Found" is presented

Expected Results:

I believe this can be closed. But I am providing what I did to fix this in case anyone else comes across this issue with F41:

~~~
pkill gnome-software
sudo appstreamcli refresh-cache --force
sudo appstreamcli refresh --force     <<<<< not sure if needed but did it anyway
pkcon repair 
~~~

After doing the above, RPMs, Flatpaks, and Bios updates returned to gnome-software. 

More importantly, this also fixed an issue I was having where I could not see my bios update via fwupdmgr.

I will keep this open for the Fedora team to review.

Thanks for a bug report. I believe this is bug #2318784, no idea why would appstreamcli changes help, because there had been found it is due to incorrect libxmlb release. Maybe you've received a correct version before/while/after running the commands and restarted gnome-software used the fixed libxmlb? In any case, I mark this as a duplicate of the other bug.
