Hi Timo, How are apps using ubuntu-app-platform supposed to handle this?
This change has left all apps currently using ubuntu-app-platform unusable without a rebuild of the consuming snap. Which is a rather unpleasant UX and causes unnecessary issues for the developers. Should it not be that the contents of the ubuntu-app-platform snap never change without a change to the name? i.e ubuntu-app-platform2. Otherwise there is always going to be an endless cycle of broken snaps because developers weren't around to rebuild every 6 months or so.
