I don’t see a Launch button in the Ubuntu Software of recently installed Ubuntu 20.04. How to get it back? Should I fix my snapcraft.yaml somehow for that?
Particularly, the button has been disappeared for the app https://snapcraft.io/hw-probe
I think this is a snap-store bug, please file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-store-desktop

Just to provide a bit more background, the reason the launch button is hidden is that snap applications cannot launch other applications outside of their sandbox.
There is work to solve this through a new desktop-launch interface:
https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/8699
This would provide a D-Bus API to allow a snap with the interface connected to launch a desktop file provided by another snap. The primary aim was to support a strict confined desktop session, but it would also cover the case of the Snap Store launching a just-installed application.

In Kubuntu 20.04, I see this Launch button, but it just doesn’t work for my app (but works for other apps).
This still hasn’t been fixed? I really need it right now
