Snap does not appear in Ubuntu Software categories

[Félicien Brochu]

I published a snap on snapcraft (https://snapcraft.io/selflessheroes) in games and education categories. It appears well on snapcraft store but it’s not listed in Ubuntu Software (GNOME software) in these categories. You can find the snap on Ubuntu Software but only if your search for it.

There are a couple issues here. GNOME Software is only displaying desktop categories, not the categories (sections) from the store. Therefore it's not showing snaps in those categories.

Testing this in snap-store (GNOME Software fork) returns slightly better results. If you browse "Education" you'll see selflessheroes. But, browsing "Games" you won't. I can reproduce it on the command line as well.

snapd isn't returning selflessheroes when querying the games section

snap find --section=games|grep selfless | wc -l
0
snap find --section=education|grep selfless | wc -l
1

The reason it's not showing in the games category is snapd only returns 50 snaps in each category, and this must not be sufficiently high in that list to be returned. This is a limitation that will be fixed in snapd in the future.

Same issue with https://snapcraft.io/ctfreak on Ubunut 22.04

snapd seems to returns 100 snaps in each category now, but a pagination would be greatly appreciated
