Bug Description
Only gnome-shell extensions explicitly marked as compatible with the running gnome-shell version are shown in the Addons category in gnome-software.
This is a problem when a beta version of gnome- shell is packaged.
It's a problem when a new gnome-shell version is first released because it takes time for developers to test the extension and mark it as compatible. It's also a problem because gnome-software only checks for extension updates every 7 days.
Some extensions still work but haven't been updated in a very long time.
More discussion on the attached GNOME bug, particularly comment 7 and at GNOME bug 776460
Original Bug Report
-------------------
Update: This behavior was because gnome-shell was a 3.23 development snapshot and no extensions at extensions.
GNOME Software 3.22 includes a plugin to show GNOME Shell extensions when GNOME Shell is running.
On the home page, click Add-Ons.
Except that the Add-Ons button is not showing up here.
gnome-software 3.22.6-0ubuntu1
Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 Beta

This is fixed now. I believe this issue only affected Ubuntu GNOME 17.04.
