Are published snap packages official releases? #9288

Open RogueScholar opened 6 years ago

I see that recently packages were added to Snapcraft.io for both the BitPay and CoPay wallets. Are these official releases?

Last I heard the decision had been made not to package the wallets in either deb or snap formats. I'm no fan of snaps in general, but if these are legit I was going to audition the BitPay snap to see how well it automates keeping the wallet software updated.

I am too interested in obtaining official confirmation from your team. Initially I was totally surprised and happy that it was released, but no any links with my issue mentioned by @RogueScholar make me careful.

Yes, those are official releases. The GitHub versions are no longer maintained and if you used to have this desktop version you will need to migrate your wallets manually to the new version

Thank You very much. I love this decision and you are awesome!

Thanks for clearing everything up. I've done as you suggested and migrated my wallets to the snap app successfully.

The only issue I've found with it vs. the old binary release is the inability to link my BitPay VISA via either the link on the website or from an e-mail. I've confirmed that xdg-mime does show the snap's .desktop file as the default for x-scheme-handler/bitpay.

Could it be that the lack of a %U at the end of the .desktop file's Exec line is the cause?

Edit: I attempted to pass the magic link directly via the terminal to view the stderr output and got this

(electron) 'app.makeSingleInstance(cb)' is deprecated. Use 'app.requestSingleInstanceLock() and app.on('second-instance', cb)' instead.

Let me know if I can provide anything else to aid in debugging.
