After you installed it with yay, remove Snapd. To install the package with yay, do

yay -S xournalpp

It’s in the official Arch repos. Using yay is perfectly fine, but even the Arch native pacman will do the job. Not a superior method, just an indication of the official Arch support for this package.

sudo pacman -S xournalpp
