This is a fresh install of KDE Neon Unstable, updated to KDE Plasma 6.0 Beta 1. Snaps do not appear to be working in Discover. I confirmed that plasma-discover-backend-snap was installed, it was shipped by default as expected. The Snap source does not appear in the Settings, no do any snap packages appear in the search results. Snap packages can be installed from the CLI as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Neon
2. Update
3. Open Discover and be sad

Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2023-12-03 12:29:23 UTC
Supposedly the snap backend has been fixed, see bug 470933. However, Discover does not find snap apps on my neon unstable.
Comment 2 Ray 2024-03-05 08:21:14 UTC
it seems even in 6.0 final plasma-discover-backend-snap only provides these files:

/usr/share/doc/plasma-discover-backend-snap/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/plasma-discover-backend-snap/copyright

So this seems to be a packaging issue
Comment 3 Ray 2024-03-05 08:27:26 UTC
look at the filesize - since 6.0 files are missing

I can confirm that snaps are not showing in Discover, even though plasma-discover-backend-snap and snapd are installed.
