I can confirm the snap backend doesn't show up in Discover's settings page and that no Snap applications show up when searching. plasma-discover-snap-backend is installed.

Snap backend is still not working, Please acknowledge.
Comment 3 Scarlett Moore 2023-11-13 11:45:33 UTC 
Alright. So this isn't a discover issue per say. It is upstream snapd-qt is qt5. I have filed a bug here:

For me the issue still persists, is this available in the latest release yet?

Snap backend is not working on neon unstable too. There is a newer bug report, see bug 477968
