No more Install button on snapcraft store

[peteruithoven]

Looks like the install button was removed from the snapcraft.io store:

I couldn't find a relevant update / topic in the Snapcraft forum store category.

I opened an topic on that forum to discuss re-adding the button as alternative option: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/no-more-install-button/4613

Yes... that sucks.. is there anything i can do about this?

[peteruithoven]

Not sure, I don't know if you have people you know in that community? If you have thoughts / ideas you could respond in that forum topic.

(I know posting an issue is a bit weird for this, but didn't know how to reach out otherwise)

[unbelievableflavour]

I understand. Unfortunately i have no one to help in the ubuntu community. So i can't help :(

It seems you must use Ubuntu Core REST API

[unbelievableflavour]

Use Core REST API how? Because i don't think this will make an install button show up on the website :P

How about using libsoup and json-glib to query the API and create your own install button in your app?

[peteruithoven]

But then it becomes an app center, which isn't allowed currently. Also see:

Damn, still can't find a solution to this issue.

Update: They re-introduced a install button: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/no-more-install-button/4613/19 Clicking View in Desktop store will open Snaptastic again :tada:.
