> The desktop file is necessary for Gnome Shell to categorize the PWA as
a different application — in its own tab group — instead of just another
Chromium window.
Since I am not familiar with the way how Gnome Shell decides which
windows belong together and you don't explain how it is done, it is
really hard for me to agree or disagree with anything.
In the comment #5 you mention window classes as a way to do this feat.
The desktop file seems like a possible way to launch Chromium with a
specific window class which makes it a separate application. Is this a
correct deduction?
Is the desktop file the only way to do this? I was under the impression
that using "chrome://apps" page as a launcher would be a different way
how to launch a new Chromium with the required window class. If this is
not the way then the launcher is broken - or at least creates a
misplaced expectations (but that would be a different bug). If the
launcher is not broken and sets everything correctly, then this bug is
not a duplicate of bug #1732482.

Title:
[snap] PWA don't launch as applications, just another chromium window
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have recently converted from deb to snap package of chromium and
progressive web applications (PWAs) launch just as another window of
chromium and are not recognized as separate application by the window
manager (for example when switching using Super+Tab) or dock (grouped
under chromium windows).
This is either a regression of the snap package vs deb or ubuntu 20.04
vs ubuntu 18.04 (I am not able to differentiate between these two
since both happened together).
