(Get the code!)
Hello all,
Let me share the current state about title, summary and description fields. Currently, the store API exposes these fields for each snap (among others):
package_name -> the "technical" package name, such as generic-amd64 (not-editable, but could change due to name disputes or similar)
name -> fully qualified name of a package, such as "generic-
summary -> the package summary, matches the summary field in the snap.yaml file (editable from Store UI)
description -> the package description, matches the description field in the snap.yaml file (editable from Store UI)
title -> the human readable string for a package, initially is filled with the snap name, but can be edited from the Store UI
There is a pending improvement from snappy so the title is also required in the snap.yaml, once that is done, the store will use that to populate the title field.
For current examples:

So specifically to this bug report, I think the Gnome Software should always use the 'title' property from the Store results as the human readable string to show to the user.
