Pop shop completely broken

[vtrenton]

I can see I'm not the only person seeing this but Pop shop is completely unusable. Pop shop consistently crashes with a segfault. As soon as I open the Pop shop my fans on my darp8 spin up to max and once I attempt to search for an application it crashes with a segfault. I have tried a full reinstall of the pop-shop package by purging and cleaning dependencies and started a VM with a fresh install of Pop_OS! This is pretty easy to reproduce. I understand that there is a focus on Cosmic but this exact same issue on the Cosmic desktop as well. I can't get this application to work on ANY devices. Can this please be fixed?

just for fun I attempted to run in with gdb as well and this is the crash output... maybe this will help:

I get similar issues on startup but after a long delay, seemingly the app recovers and works fine... but throws these errors just before the app window appears when run via shell io.elementary.appcenter

On opening the app once it launches once not via a shell and rather via the GUI app selection tools, it seemingly much faster to load, not sure if the normal behavior is to become a background process?
