Thanks for the documentation, I've added the .appdata.xml file. I'm still not able to see my app in gnome-software
GNOME software in 3.10 and 3.12 uses the AppStream metadata that is generated from the fedora repos. You need to get your application into Fedora before it will be visible in the software center. GNOME Software has no way of searching all the random repos on the Internet, and can only load the metadata that has been prepared ahead of time.
If you're using GNOME 3.14, gnome-software will consider your local AppData file and show the correct data, but obviously this will not work until the application is installed manually.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your answer, it was quite weird to me, looking the data provided by copr repo, that it would work. In my understanding the only way for gnome-software to get appdata information would be to get the rpm which wouldn't be optimized. So from your answer it's clear, is there any plan for copr to generate this data in the futur? If I setup my own repository, would I be able to generate this data? My software is quite far from being releasable on fedora repos that's why I'm asking.
Best regards,
