Following an email conversation between design and devs, we agreed that
the app installation progress will be reflected in 3 places (the first
of which is particularly pertinent to this bug):

1) APP ARTWORK (ie icon)
Artwork is filled with transparent overlay
Overlay gradually reduced creating a emptying effect where the app icon is 
gradually revealed
Effect pauses at 80% empty once downloading is completed. Remaining 20% takes 
place during installation

Please note that during downloading / installation the app icon appears
in the launcher AND on the apps scope. The latest designs of the app
scope only show installed apps not available apps so the problem in this
bug is partly resolved by that.

2) CARD HEADER (eg in Store)
Attribute changes as installation progresses:
i) FREE/£0.99 
ii) Downloading
iii) Installing
iv) Installed

Note - a purchased but not installed app is marked as Purchased

3) BUTTON (on preview)
Button label and background changes as installation progresses:
i) Label: Install  |  Background: Solid button colour
ii) Label: Downloading…  |  Background: Background acts as progress bar, 
filling up as downloading progresses
iii) Label: Installing  |  Background: Solid colour plus spinner to side of 
label
iv) Label: Open  |  Background: Solid colour.

** Description changed:

  If a user chooses to install an app but doesn't stay on the app preview
  while it downloads and installs (or the device sleeps in the meantime),
  when they see the list of apps, the app that is being downloaded is
  still shown as un-installed, with no distinction made.
  
  This needs design input - some platforms show the app in the list of
  'installed apps' (eg iOS home screen) but have a progress bar or some
  other badge to show that it's not ready to run yet.
  
  This affects both unity8 and the scope because there will be additional
  state for the scope to send to the dash in the apps list results.
