Bug Description

[Impact]
snapd now provides the display name for a snap (e.g. "Skype" instead of the username "skype") and the validation status for the account (used to show a tick against special accounts). This should be shown in GNOME Software.

[Test Case]
1. Open GNOME Software
2. Select Skype

Expected outcome:
Developer is shown as "Skype" and account has tick icon beside it.

Observed result:
Developer is shown as "skype" and account has no tick icon.

[Regression Potential]
Chance of new parsing and UI code introducing bugs.

Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100) wrote : Proposed package upload rejected

An upload of gnome-software to xenial-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "Since this upload includes the same change for 'new media API' as others, I would feel much safer if we set a minimal version depenency to libsnapd-glib-dev (>= 1.45) - since it seems there was more than one snapd-glib version in xenial.".
