Just to confirm, you cannot see any apps in the app-store?
The guide below may be relevant to you:

>
> If for any reason apps are not loading in your App Store, or you don’t see certain applications populating correctly, run the following command. If you are on a Linux machine, you may need to replace `~/umbrel` with the path to your installation directory, as described in _Troubleshooting on Linux_:
>
> `sudo rm -f ~/umbrel/repos/https---github-com-getumbrel-umbrel-apps-git/.git/index.lock && sudo rm -f ~/umbrel/repos/https---github-com-getumbrel-umbrel-apps-git/.git/ORIG_HEAD.lock && sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/repo update`
>
> Then wait ~2 minutes, refresh your browser, and try visiting the app store again.
