same problem on riscv64 architecture

I add the snapcraft.yaml code + the patches to use

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

At this time the gnome platform snaps are only supported on amd64 and arm64. Is there a particular demand for your snap on these other architectures?

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

I suspect what you really need is to specify the architectures your snap should build and run on. Something like this:

architectures:
  - build-on: [amd64]
  - build-on: [arm64]

For reference https://snapcraft.io/docs/architectures

I've closed the bug as it isn't a snapd issue, but it's the gnome sdk snap that isn't supported on those architectures. Bugs for that project are tracked at https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-sdk

yes given that the project is compatible with all architectures

there are more and more people who use this architecture and ask to have a package for it

It is therefore necessary for gnome to be present for all architectures in snap without any exceptions

and my request is absolutely not invalid

It’s up to you to do the job right.

if you activate an architecture in snap you must activate all packages without exception including gnome

for the gnome-sdk it is hard compatible

can we install it directly on the distributions

so it's up to you to make it compatible with snap

so they should not say that the request is simply because you refuse to do the job properly

Plus I'm not the only one complaining about this problem.
