It should display as both an app and a scope. The way it is now is due to a limitation in the way packages with more than one app are handled. Even if your package has multiple apps (which is possible), only the first will appear in the store, and we only really handle a single app in the package reasonably well in general. This needs some thought in terms of implementation details, but I don't think it needs a bug with a lot of discussion. It's also possible for a package to only provide an online accounts provider as well. But those will not show up in the store scope at all, and there will be no way to get a preview to uninstall it. This is a general problem beyond just scopes and apps, which affects any general content provided in a package. We're going to need to fix the store to be able to deal with all of these situations. There is also currently the lack of filters in the scope. There is some design to have filters (to show only apps, only scopes, or similar), to accompany the categories support, but there's nothing final yet, and we haven't had time to implement it. We've also had to lower the priority of that work to be able to get other things done. We will need to get Martin's team to prioritize fixing the server to return packages with both apps and scopes as results for both types, rather than only as apps, and then make some small changes in the scope itself, to be able to deal with the immediate issue though. However, I'm confident that the right way to solve this is to do so in a general manner, where any package that has a specific type of content, is returned in the search results for that type of content. This would also enable us to provide a couple of basic filters to show only apps, only scopes, or both, in the results.
