Request for gadget snap type approval: aris-hydronics-gadget

Hello,

I’m requesting approval for the gadget snap type for my snap aris-hydronics-gadget (publisher: matt-tucker).

This is the gadget snap for an Ubuntu Core-based IoT device (ARM64) used in our HVAC control system. The automated review flagged lint-snap-v2_snap_type_redflag — “type ‘gadget’ not allowed” — which requires manual approval.

This is related to our existing auto-connection request for the companion application snap: Auto-connection request: aris-hydronics

Details:

  • Snap name: aris-hydronics-gadget
  • Version: 24-3, Revision 1
  • Architecture: arm64
  • Confinement: strict
  • Publisher: matt-tucker (matt@arishydronics.com)

Could the gadget type be approved for this snap so that future revisions can pass automated review?

Thanks! -Matt

Hi , following up on this request, which has been open since February 27 with no responses yet. We’re building Aris, a residential air-to-water heat pump system for whole-home heating, cooling, and hot water — the Brain controller runs on Ubuntu Core on a Raspberry Pi inside the unit. We need the gadget type approvalto publish our gadget snap to the store and use snap-ID-based connections for interface auto-connect at first boot.

This is blocking us alongside our related auto-connect request (which has also been waiting nearly a month). Happy to provide any additional info needed. Thanks!

Please note that gadget uploads to the global store are simply not permitted, gadgets not owned by Canonical require a dedicated snap store.

Usually such uploads trigger a process internally that will make you being contacted by a sales person from Canonical, not sure why this did not happen here this time though … I have let someone from sales know about it now …
