Ubuntu app platform is an optional package your app can use to minimize the disk space the app takes. The platform offers you shared content which includes Qt 5.6.2 with Ubuntu's backported fixes, Ubuntu UI Toolkit, PIM libraries and Oxide web browser engine among else.
It is recommended to use the associated cloud part desktop-ubuntu-app-platform to make the usage easy. Note that for developing a package targeting to use ubuntu-app-platform, you will need to use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS added with the "stable-phone-overlay" PPA which includes the newer Qt and other packages!

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install ubuntu-app-platform, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install ubuntu-app-platform
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
