The metropolis \appendix command is invoking

\pgfkeys{%
      /metropolis/outer/.cd,
      numbering=none,
      progressbar=none}

this will invoke

\setbeamertemplate{frame numbering}[none]
\setbeamertemplate{headline}[plain]
\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}[plain]
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[plain]

IMHO, appendix pages should be numbered, and have headlines, frametitles, footlines. But in particular, this kills any modifications done to these templates. My workaround is to kill the pgfkey .code statements before the appendix, so that metropolis doesn't modify them.

If a user wants to hide numbers, he can simply do

\setbeamertemplate{frame numbering}[none]
\appendix

similar, if he indeed wants the appendix frames to be plain. Resetting them should not be the default.

For the progressbar, IMHO a proper fix for #274 is better than this hack to hide them.
