What needs to get done

Please implement snapcraft try for core24-based snaps. This is a known issue noted in the migration guide to core24.

Why it needs to get done

snap try is a valuable tool for development in our Ubuntu Core-based system, it shortens the time between tweaking the code and seeing a result. Our current workaround to use it is to unpack the snap after it was built, but this wastes time on the initial build of a project and complicates our build scripts.

Hi, I agree that this is a useful and missing feature.

This is now possible to implement in Snapcraft, now that some major upstream refactoring has been completed in Craft Application 5.0.
