Request to remove custom assertions from newsflash

The snap newsflash was given custom assertions to auto connect to the webkitgtk content snap. But, users still often face issues where snapd blocks the connection to webkitgtk-6-gnome-2404. The issue was mailed me again today by a user. It’s generally faced very randomly. The logs can be seen here

Can someone kindly investigate into this snap? I think the old assertions can be a problem.

Hey @soumyaDghosh

I think the custom assertion you mention (snap-declaration) was possibly removed at some point when webkitgtk-6-gnome-2404 received global auto-connection. You can check the snap-declaration for newsflash here

I have no idea what is this issue related to. @pedronis does it look familiar to you?

Update: might it be related to Something wrong with webkit2 gtk-4.0?
