Bug Description
Zesty Desktop
Unity8 as a deb
ubuntu-
ubuntu-app-platform 1 (34)
Test Case:
Install the calculator snap, ubuntu-app-platform and connect the calculator to the platform
Launch the calculator from the command line
Actual result
It fails with the following message:
j-lallement@
You need to connect this snap to the ubuntu app platform snap.
You can do this with those commands:
snap install ubuntu-app-platform
snap connect ubuntu-
The user must reboot the machine and there is nothing telling him to do so.
Expected result
It runs successfully or at least the installation of the ubuntu-app-platform shows a message indicating that the system must be rebooted.

I believe this is related to several snapd bugs on content interface handling which are currently being worked. See lp:11645731 for example.
There are workarounds in that bug. You can also disable, enable the app snap, connect again and it generally works.
