That is, the entry in GNOME Software reads 'ubuntu-calculator-app' instead of 'Calculator (Unity 7)'. The latter is specified as "Package title" in the web UI, not sure which field name it's got in the store API. It seems, though, that snappy does not have the concept of a human- readable name and it's using the "description" field for that. I'm not sure if that's the intention, or if it's expected that any store clients use the "Package title" from the store API instead. snapd gives the following information for ubuntu-calculator-app (in this case, sideloaded): { "description" : "Ubuntu Calculator app", "download_size" : -1, "icon" : "/2.0/icons/ubuntu-calculator-app.sideload/icon", "installed_size" : 581341041, "name" : "ubuntu-calculator-app", "origin" : "sideload", "resource" : "/2.0/snaps/ubuntu-calculator-app.sideload", "status" : "active", "type" : "app", vendor" : "", "version" : "IOBXFFOCRcXL" } From James Tait: The human-readable package display name, “Package name” in the upload form, maps to the title field in the store API and takes its data from the same field in a Click manifest, but seemingly has no equivalent in a Snap manifest. The closest field in snap.yaml appears to be summary, but I was intending to extract that to tagline and fix bug #1303354 so we can surface that in the store API. The description field in the store API maps to the “Tagline” and “Description” fields in the upload form, and takes its data from the title and description fields in Click manifests, and the description field in Snap manifests. The name field in the store API maps to the unchangeable package name in the store web UI, and takes its data from the same field in both Click and Snap manifests, with the author’s short namespace appended if the extracted package name is unqualified.
