I just (12/31/2020) downloaded and installed BETA1. After updating the taskbar disappeared. At least I think its the taskbar; the bottom bar and top bar. I found suggestions at another link that I don’t seem to have permissions to include.
The updated set of commands that worked for me:
killall plasmashell
rm ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma/phoneshell-appletsrc
plasmashell &
The bars appear after reboots. I can’t say after future updates.
