Issue description:
Right after the upgrade from A11 to A12, I noticed that my "open by default" settings (Settings > Apps > All apps > select any app > Open by default) had been reset. For instance, Youtube links were opened in the browser (instead of my preferred Youtube app, Newpipe) and Google Maps links as well (instead of my preferred maps app, Magic Earth). At the time, I assumed it was just a one-time upgrade issue, so I fixed it manually and went on with my life.
However, just yesterday I noticed that Newpipe's "open by default" settings had been lost again. The same thing happened on another CalyxOS device in my household (identical specs as listed under "hardware and software info" above). Since I had just updated the app to a newer version before, I assume this issue can be reproduced by updating apps. I'll pay close attention to the next Newpipe update and report back if it occurs again.
And before anyone says it's a Newpipe issue ;) - as far as I know, "open by default" is a feature handled by the OS, that's why I'm reporting it here.
