I am currently developing an app based on a file provider extension and intermittently encounter the error: No valid file provider found with identifier.
Usually, I can mount (addDomain) successfully after building the app, but occasionally this error appears and then disappears after 10-15 minutes
I see these errors from log stream:

When the issue occurs, the following command does not list my provider:
fileproviderctl dump
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
