Currently I am on Ubuntu 23.04. Is this name intentional?

Certainly! That's how it should be. Because we are making an application that can replace the old one in its architecture (the one used in these versions of Ubuntu). We gave the name "app-center" so as not to create confusion for developers.

Thanks for the bug report - while the name of the snap and the binary are still "snap-store", this isn't intentional and should read "App Center" as well.

It's the same in 23.10 as well.

I suspect that the reason is that the Gtk window underneath doesn't have set the window title. Check this screenshot:

You can see that the "terminus" window has an odd title, an UUID. That's because it is a trick that I used to integrate it with Gnome Shell, setting a specific UUID as the window title.

So, by default, if no title is used, the binary name is used, I presume.

Maybe the key is here? (myapplication.cc.tmpl)

Ok, no... the trick isn't there.

Currently, the window in the Activities view in Gnome Shell has
"snap-store" as its name, which is incorrect because this is the
brand-new "App Center". The reason is that the Activities view
shows the window title, but the app center doesn't set it, so
it is set to the binary name.

This patch fixes it, although it should be modified in the future
to use the translated name.
