Bug Description

Right now when you are developing a .snap and Snappy fails with "signature verification failed with exit status 10" you end up without a way to install and test your package.

Ideally snappy-remote should support passing options to the install command it runs, at least --allow-unauthenticated should be supported so developers and testers can bypass this error.

Btw, I get that it does not happen in developer mode but otherwise snappy-remote would not be really useful in non-devel cases then?

Semi-workround: Whilst it fails to install correctly, snappy-remote does at least provide a way of getting files on to the target which you can then launch manually. This works for the hello-world and my own Python app.

We should document this on https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/tutorials/build-snaps/ too.

Does --allow-unauthenticated get passed to snappy?

I think this should no longer be a problem, snappy-remote does --allow-unauthenticated by default

Marking as invalid for now. The docs no longer have instructions to install the snaps. We need snappy try and something like snappy remote install, and document them.
