Bug Description
I've core installed from candidate
tracking: candidate
installed: 16-2.28.1 (3017) 87MB core
and copied the policy kit file io.snapcraft.
I was already authenticated against U1 and did a snap logout. I also restarted the system.
When I install or remove a snap there is no authentication dialog but when I install a snap from the command line the policykit authentication dialog shows up.

It happens on a fresh installation. The first time you install a snap there is no policy kit dialog.
