Supported plugins
The following plugins are currently supported by Snapcraft. See Snapcraft plugins for more details in how they’re used, and to create your own, see Writing local plugins.
From Snapcraft 4.0 onwards, if the working directory contains a Snapcraft project, the default behaviour is to show only the plugins available for either its specified base or the latest available supported base (currently core20 ). See Base snaps for more details.
