Namespaced Apprepository: cronjobs not displayed in ArgoCD UI when repo deployed in namespace other than the kubeapps namespace #5633

@Jonito

Description

@Jonito

Describe the bug
We deployed GCP Artifact Registry (oci) Apprepos in separate namespaces using ArgoCD. The repos can be seen under each of the required namespace in kubeapps package administration and functionality works
The cronjobs for these Apprepos get deployed in kubeapps namespace along with the jobs created by the cronjobs run.
But the cronjobs are not seen from Argocd.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Deploy GCP artifact repository (OCI) as namedspace Apprepo.
  2. Verify the app repos in Kubeapps package administration in the expected namespace.
  3. Verify the functionality using a helm chart
  4. Verify the contents of cronjob for that Apprepo. If the cronjob is in different namespace then the Apprepo the it will have missing ownerReferences: when checked the cronjob

for e.g one of my cronjobs.

Expected behavior
I expected the cronjobs to be deployed in same namespace as the Apprepos so the the cronjobs ownerReferences gets defined in the cronjob

Screenshots

Part screenshot of argocd deployment showing the Apprepositories.
In this screenshot i have three repos gcp-test-ecpipeline , gcp-test-modelt-sre and gcp-test-modelt
cronjob displayed for gcp-test-ecpipeline which is in same namespace as kubeapps.
gcp-test-modelt-sre and gcp-test-modelt are in different namespaces and cronjobs not seen in the scrrenshot.
