Installed snaps do not appear among other apps in menus when using Wayland

[fcole90]

I installed the snap telegram-sergiusens but it doesn't appear among the other applications in the menu and I can't search for it from the Activities menu (GNOME Shell).

I'm trying this from a Wayland session, I don't know if this can be related in any way.

I tried purging snapd* and reinstalling but it didn't change anything

This issue happens only under Wayland sessions.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is also happening with Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. Only in wayland session, in x11 its okay

One should also add, that happens to all snap apps, not only telegram. In my case, with atom, and libreoffice packaged by snapcrafters
