When will Snap support show up for Ubuntu Touch 24.04?
-
Just wondering when that's coming cuz I wanna try using Firefox on it. I remember it on 20.04, but I never got to used it cuz I switched to 24.04 the moment it came out for my F(x)tec Pro1 X.
And wondering if Flatpak will also be supported at some point

@YamiYukiSenpai have you simply tried it? Snap support is baked in with 24.04. you have to either install them via the terminal or use the snap store after installing that via the terminal.
Firefox snap however will still not work as yet, since the issue there are several, not having directly to do with snaps being able to be installed or not.
There is a Firefox click you could try though. That works better, even though it is not really optimized for small screens.

@YamiYukiSenpai Should I remove Snapz0r so? Does it 'clash' withe the baked in Snap supprt?

@padraic I don't think Snapzor even works on Noble. For me it doesn't open. But yeah, you don't need it anymore to enable snaps on 24.04. However, it may serve as a GUI for installing snaps or as a snap store if ever the dev decides to still make it work on Noble.
I've already tried snaps on my FP4 and Pro1-X. Sadly, it's still not a reliable option for apps. Most GUI programs doesn't work well or even open. Big improvement on this will come with an updated Mir and Wayland support Hopefully that will come soon
