I don’t see what I do different on Tuba’s snap https://github.com/GeopJr/Tuba/blob/main/build-aux/snap/snapcraft.yaml#L11 :confused: but I can confirm that the portal works on curtail and is not a gtk4 + core22 issue after all

What I was not to able suggest you back then was, try to add GDK_DEBUG: portals in the environment section under apps.

Okay, I have got the idea why is this happening.

In GTK4, Gtk.FileChooserNative was not able to access portals within snaps. For others who are facing the same issue. Try to run your snap with GDK_DEBUG=portals <snap-name>. What this does is, forces to use portals.

Disclaimer: Gtk.FileChooserNative has been depriciated since GTK-4.10.

If your code uses it, please prefer to move to Gtk.FileDialog
