OK. I have a feeling though that the apps: section is not ordered, which means we need some other way to call out the "definitive" app for the snap, i.e. the one which is represented in GNOME Software. So it feels to me that we need: * a way to associate desktop files with the apps in the snap (

The name field today is the best fallback, but it is obviously unsatisfying ("ubuntu-personal-calculator") as primary keys don't make nice human-friendly names. I think what we want is a translatable displayname, and I would support that, but Robert, why not just have this in the desktop file itse

Yeah yeah patches welcome :p Would it be sensible to have title be an optional field, and use the Capitalized name if it is not provided? In the past, we've seen it's hard to get complete and accurate metadata when there is a lot of duplication in the schema. And yes, appstream would be welcome.
