I set up a clean VM running up to date artful, which includes
snapd-2.28.5+17.10 (so no copying of policy files or changing channel
for core snap), and couldn't reproduce this. I started gnome-software,
and tried to install the Hiri snap and got the expected polkit prompt.
I did get the following message though:
Unable to install Hiri
Failed to read from snapd: Error receiving data: Connection reset by peer
Snapd restarted during the install, presumably after it installed the
core snap, so this seems like another variation of bug 1718170.
If you got a polkit prompt from the command line "snap" utility but not
in gnome-software, that would indicate that it was not sending the X
-Allow-Interaction header. We added that in snapd-glib 1.19, and you've
got 1.23 installed.

Title:
no policy kit auth dialog to install or remove a snap
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in gnome-software source package in Artful:
Triaged
Bug description:
I've core installed from candidate
tracking: candidate
installed: 16-2.28.1 (3017) 87MB core
and copied the policy kit file io.snapcraft.snapd.policy to
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/
I was already authenticated against U1 and did a snap logout. I also
restarted the system.
When I install or remove a snap there is no authentication dialog but
when I install a snap from the command line the policykit
authentication dialog shows up.
