The image tag of the application created by ApplicationSet is not changed.

[ByeongwooJang]

i tested image updater with application without applicationset
image updater changed image tag very well.

but the application created by applicationset is not working well.

these were exactly same application. same helm chart, same annotaion.
the diffrence is only who control the application.
by myself or by applicationset

this is image updater log.
it shows worked well.
but wasnt.
even though it shows changed image tag successfuly, its not. i can see the tag not changed"dpt-dev/helloworld:8.0.2@sha256:db02264b80187864ccc8aac447ae0350c060efb27e2675398b968ef6de891341"
