Bug Description
Under Unity, by specifying desktop files for apps in snapcraft.yaml, the apps would show up in the dash when installed, and could be launched from there. This doesn't appear to work in gnome-shell. Try e.g. the libreoffice snap.

I guess unity was made to look for desktop files in /var/lib/ snapd/desktop/ applications/ (which is where snapd installs them), and gnome-shell would need to be patched to do the same.
