Update Note: This question is different than Has 'Ubuntu Software' been renamed to 'Snap Store'? because as I learned it seems that the Snap-Store has been renamed to Ubuntu Software -- the opposite of the other question. The Ubuntu Software icon shows up but the actual command that runs is snap-store (see the answer posted to this question).
I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 about 2 weeks ago (from 18.04). I had the Snap Store in my installation and had ran it. Today I went to run it and couldn't find it. Then learned there is Ubuntu Software app which shows my Snaps in it.
Is Ubuntu Software a complete replacement for Snap Store?
I'm a developer and I deployed my Software via SnapCraft (https://snapcraft.io/cyapass) I notice that my app shows up in Ubuntu Software:
So, does this mean I don't need the Snap Store any more? Does Ubuntu Software include everything that is deployed to Snap.io?
Also, I notice that SnapCraft is installed but when I attempt to search for it, it doesn't show up. Do you know why that might be?
Inadvertently Removed?
Was there some update that inadvertently removed the Snap Store?
Update
Here's another part that makes it a bit confusing.
If I look in "Ubuntu Software" app I see the following are installed:
Notice that you see the icon for Snap Store, but Ubuntu Software is not shown at all.
Update 2
Check this out. When you run the command:
$ snap-store
You may also see a toast / pop-up that looks like the following:
Even though you started up snap-store it says that "Ubuntu Software is ready".
