YouTube Music Snap app message?

every time I will open YouTube music snap app, this message will appear.

"Allow settings change? Allow snap "youtube-music-desktop-app" to change "default-url-scheme-handler" subproperty "ytmd" to "youtube-music-desktop-app_youtube-music-desktop-app.desktop" ? This dialog will close automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity"

Anyway to fix this issue?

The internet is currently pretty silent about this, but it seems to be an issue related to snap, not ytmd. I've found a few similar issues related to other snap apps giving the same message on startup.

My solution: uninstall the snap app and download the app image from the creator's website.

Make sure the file is executable. (chmod +x filename)

If you want this to be treated like an application(search, pin to dock, etc..), create a new file: ~/.local/share/applications/ytmd.desktop.

I followed this article and used the icon from the ytmd github repo. Works just as well (better since there is no pop-up) as the snap installation.

I uninstalled it using snap remove, and installed it via FlatPak:

flatpak install flathub app.ytmdesktop.ytmdesktop

The message disappeared.
