Unable to launch applications

On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with make and make install:

Launcher works with pop-shell. Can switch between open windows, and search displays list.

Issues:

• Hitting "Enter" (or the Ctrl + x) on any result other than open windows have no action.
• Color scheme: Currently highlighted item is dimmed out on dark mode, that's it's not at all visible.

With command journalctl -xe, I could see such a line when I was trying to open an application in the pop-launcher list. I hope it will be helpful
pop-shell: [ERROR] failed to read response from launcher service: TypeError: Shell.AppLaunchGpu is undefined

Same here. Ubuntu 20.04 on Wayland. Launcher (make && make install) and pop!_shell (make local-install) installed from sources.
pop!_shell: commit de901ae4cc21dcce3613ef0f4c53c2242230f645
launcher: commit 98e3866

there is this information on journal logs:

• I can switch between open windows

• I can do file search

• I can't start application by entering its name and choosing it on the list

This is a gnome-shell 3.36 problem.

Applying this pop-os/shell#1205 to pop-shell, solves problem.
