Get current snap channel from inside the app

my question is how to check if the app is being executed from the beta channel or stable channel…

is there a environment variable set by snapd or something else?

Not quite the same, but I include the SNAP_REVISION environment variable in my application’s feedback form since the actual channel doesn’t matter as much as which revision is used.

I know this is kind of an old thread, but I was wondering the same question as OP. The revision is of course helpful, but the channel is important for us also.

I was hoping that snapctl would be able to get this, but doesn’t look like it. Any tips?
