[Bug 1432636] Re: Scopes with a helper app show up as apps in the store

 

The use case for having a scope and an app from the same package is
simplifying the process of installing closely related components. Eg:
the untappd scope, which also installs a helper webapp. This is already
well supported, and there are several packages in the store already that
have both a scope and an app.

The bug here is that all of those packages show up in the store as apps,
when it might more sense for some of them to show up as scopes.

Installing two apps from the same package would be for something like a
camera app that also installs a gallery app, but there are many places
we'd have to fix in order for this to work in a decent way.

Title:
  Scopes with a helper app show up as apps in the store

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in unity-scope-click package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Click packages that have both a main scope and a helper app don't show
  up as Scopes in the app store, but instead they show up as apps. Eg:
  untappd scope.

  Also, after installation they show the "Open" button to start the
  helper app, instead of the "Search" button to show the scope.
