Ubuntu – Snap Store does not show categories [Ubuntu 20.04]

20.04snap

I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to 20.04 and when I open Snap Store it does not show Categories of apps nor all the installed apps in the distro (reinstalling the snap store did not correct the issue).

Below is an attached image of the start screen and the errors during launching of the app.

enter image description here
