Version 1.6.0

[diddledan]

also uses gnome-platform - works on my system when built with cleanbuild

[Ads20000]

snapcraft on Ubuntu 17.04 failed. snapcraft cleanbuild works though and the snap built from that works. However, it does not run. Even after snap install gnome-3-24 and snap connect corebird:gnome-3-24-platform gnome-3-24:gnome-3-24-platform (which is not user-friendly at all, someone who installs via their software center and launches via their launcher will not see this message, Corebird will simply not work, but that's some design work that needs to happen on snappy's side with the GNOME platform and with software centers) it still says that I haven't connected this snap with the GNOME platform snap. I've reported the issue on the forum here.

$ sudo snap install gnome-3-24
gnome-3-24 3.24 from 'canonical' installed
$ sudo snap connect corebird:gnome-3-24-platform gnome-3-24:gnome-3-24-platform
$ snap run corebird
You need to connect this snap to the gnome platform snap.

You can do this with those commands:
snap install gnome-3-24
snap connect corebird:gnome-3-24-platform gnome-3-24:gnome-3-24-platform

The issue with reporting that the gnome-platform snap isn't connected even when you've clearly done the required command is a bug in snapd which 2.27 is supposed to fix when it's available. In the meantime you can run sudo /usr/lib/snapd/snap-discard-ns corebird though that is a low-level internal-to-snapd command that shouldn't be used ordinarily by users

Yes apologies I found the relevant bug online, let me try again.

Interesting, SNAPCRAFT_CONTAINER_BUILDS=1 snapcraft fails when trying to build gstreamer, however snapcraft cleanbuild works fine and builds a working snap (haven't tested said snap on Ubuntu 16.04 though, have you?). Do you have write access to this repo so you can pull it? The sooner we get this out to stable the better (assuming it does work on 16.04, this really does need to be tested on that distro to see if it works on systems that don't have GTK+ 3.20 in their traditional packaging)!

Snapcraft offers some capabilities to solve this by use of the following keywords:
    - `filesets`
    - `stage`
    - `snap`
    - `organize`

Learn more about these part keywords by running `snapcraft help plugins`

no, I don't have access to pull the PR. @flexiondotorg or @popey should be able to do so

[Ads20000]

Could I put a call for testing on the forum for 1.6.0 on Ubuntu 16.04? :)
(Will say to use the command git clone https://github.com/diddledan/corebird-snap.git --branch version-1.6.0 && snapcraft cleanbuild && sudo snap install corebird_1.6.0_amd64.snap --dangerous && snap run corebird)
