Bug Description

Using 1:3.32.0.1-1ubuntu3 in disco

- install the vlc snap
- go to the settings -> applications view
- select vlc and use the menu in the headerbar to see the application details

It calls gnome-software, but then displays a page about vlc_vlc not being found, it looks like the ID used in invalid

I've marked this as affecting gnome-shell as well since we're seeing the same thing when selecting "Show details" from the menu in the panel.

I've also marked this as affecting gnome-software, as I'm hoping maybe this can be fixed in gnome-software.

It's passing the portal ID (so many IDs in slightly different formats...) to gnome-software which is why it's failing. Needs to be converted inside gnome-control-center.

The shell case is probably passing the application name as an ApoStream ID or something similar. It should probably be passing a snap:// URL. That should probably be tracked in another bug.

The issue seems fixed in the current version, tried on impish and it works as expected
