Just to add to this. I notice that sometimes when i swipe down to search for an app for example i type signal, select signal but then it will open something else. Also when I do try to switch apps it's never in the order that they were open. it always goes back to the same order and then you can't select them anyway. Really hope a solution can be figured out quickly as it's making daily use unbearable as I'm constantly switching between apps.
App switching broken?
Agree. Switching back to the previous app does not work most of the times.

I have this problem with the latest GoS production version on my Pixel 7 Pro. App switching works for a while after I reboot but it's not long before I get "App not available" again.
Glad it's a known issue and being worked on as it's a real annoyance.

Some news on this:
This was an upstream bug from Android 13 QPR1. It has now been fixed downstream by GrapheneOS. The fix will be in the next release, so please be patient for that one.

Thank you all for your patience as the team looked into this. It would be great if upstream bugs could be addressed upstream, but this seems to be a bug that was mostly triggered with secondary user profile use, which is largely not used outside of GrapheneOS, so that bug will likely exist in AOSP for a long time.

This has been fixed in release 2022122700 and in Production.
matchboxbananasynergy oof 😬
Imagine discovering profiles on Stock Android and finding out your app switching is broken as a result
Correct me if I'm wrong but can't the GOS devs PR the fix upstream? I've some changes in GOS has been merged upstream so won't this one be?
Kryptos I didn't know something we all took for granted could make or break an experience
Now I have to relearn how to live with proper app switching because I still find myself open the app drawer to switch apps instead of the app switcher
I'm on 2022122700 and still broken ; when I search an app and open it it opens another one.
Here is a video record showing the situation :

Mintou The issue you're showing in that video is completely different to the issue described in this thread.
Your issue is an AOSP related one, or one that has to do with the launcher. It seems that if you search for an app and press the app too quickly, it will always open the first app in your app drawer.

Thank you for the quick answer.
It's an aosp related issue, but it doesn't happen in the stock pixel os. So I guess there's a way to fix that in grapheneos as well ?
Should I create a new thread related to this ?
Adding this here for the record. The issue unrelated to this thread mentioned by @Mintou was an upstream issue with the AOSP launcher which has now been addressed downstream by GrapheneOS:
