Description
One particular code path was transitioning to the UI thread while getting package metadata because it needed access to the UI property for the selected package source. Rather than transitioning to the UI thread for each package, we cache the selected package source and pass it as an argument before getting off the UI thread, so we don't need to transition back each time.
