I'm not familiar with Ubuntu snap store, but how does it compare with Google play store in terms of security?

For example, do apps need to request permissions for accomplishing specific tasks, or is there any kind of sandboxing involved?

The snap packages can either ask for elevated privileges or ask for standard access. In the former, they go through some manual review.

I do not know if there are any auto checks when the package is added automatically.
