Snaps for different architectures

Hello.
Is it possible to build the snap for 32bit under 64bit?
When I'm trying to build with --ia32 on the 64bit Ubuntu I get:
Building for a different target architecture requires a plugin specific implementation in the 'desktop-glib-only' plugin

And also a small issue. When I'm trying to use shell.openExternal to open a link in the default browser it doesn't work. I've tried node modules like this. Don't work too. Do you have any ideas about it?

Thanks in advance.

Supported in the latest snapcraft, but not yet on electron-builder side (https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/releases/tag/2.26 stage packages). Not sure about desktop-glib-only.

No permissions, I guess. https://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/interfaces browser-support is added by default. No idea what is required. Or maybe some special stage package is required.

@develar There is something else, I guess. My app works as the server and when I had not added a "network-bind" permissions(didn't add by default) in the logs there was alert log like (please add plug 'network-bind'). But in this case, there are not any logs... Looks like some another cause...

Ok, thanks for your answer. Do you plan to add the possibility to build snaps for both architectures at once?

I doubt that snap can do this, but in any case it will be supported on electron-builder side (arch option for stage packages) as now there is a request. Please note — we ALREADY pass arch flag to snapcraft.

Also, when I start the span there are these logs in the terminal:

git:(linux) ✗ my-snap
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

I have tried to get rid of this in the past but no luck. Bloody Linux weird stuff. Currently, I don't want and don't have time to investigate it. Last time was decided/investigated that it can be safely ignored.

Moved to backlog to keep issue list clear.

@develar I also get the same error as mentioned here. I get this error with all the snap packages except Slack so I think there should be a workaround for the same.
