Public bug reported:

Since the change to a Snap package, PWA "add to homescreen" (A2HS) does
not seem to be working.

I am using Xubuntu 19.10

A link is created on the desktop with the app name, but the icon is a
generic one and clicking on the link just brings up a blank Chromium
page.

I tested it from my own PWA to start with, but to check it is a generic
problem I used the MDN PWA page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Add_to_home_screen

which has a PWA demo app called "Awesome Fox Pictures". If you open the
live demo page:

https://mdn.github.io/pwa-examples/a2hs/

you should be able to add the app to your desktop, but this creates the
broken link I described.
