confined applications show as unconfined

[Sergio Schvezov]

Applications that are confined, e.g.; chromium (https://snapcraft.io/chromium) show up as unconfined on gnome-software.

I tried this on my 19.04 machine and Chromium is showing as being confined (both when not installed and installed).

There are two things that must be true for G-S to consider a snap to be confined:

1. The snap must be confined:

$ curl --unix-socket /run/snapd.socket http://localhost/v2/find?name=chromium|jq .result[0].confinement
"strict"

2. snapd must be confined:

$ curl --unix-socket /run/snapd.socket http://localhost/v2/system-info|jq .result.confinement
"strict"

Are any of those different in your case?

If installed, also check the installed snap metadata:

$ curl --unix-socket /run/snapd.socket http://localhost/v2/snaps/chromium|jq .result.confinement
"strict"
