I am running a fresh install of 24.04 on VirtualBox 6.1.50_Ubuntu r161033 (with a Ubuntu 22.04 host). App Center opens to a white screen and immediately closes.
Below is a screenshot of the relevant portion of the syslog.

I can confirm that disabling OpenGL in App Center settings works for me. It also works for Firmware Updater if you disable OpenGL for it. – user79123 May 03 '24 at 14:10
I had the same problem. For unrelated reasons, I changed the windowing system from Wayland to X11. Then, I launched snap-store from the terminal to see and error messages. Here is what I got:
~$ snap-store
Gtk-Message: 11:55:34.391: Not loading module "atk-bridge": The functionality is provided by GTK natively. Please try to not load it.

After that though, the App Center did launch and work.

I had also discovered that if I switched to X11 the Snap Store works. I did not get the errors that you got, but I did get an unrelated system error on the system journal on first login after switching. Otherwise it seems to be working, but I don't think the Ubuntu team would call "Don't use Wayland" a fix. – user79123 May 01 '24 at 17:25

The original issue also affected Firmware Updater, and that is also fixed by using X11. It was suggested that I file a bug report on this, Robert Prince had already done so, I added my info. You can see it at https://github.com/ubuntu/app-center/issues/1655#issuecomment-2086861832 – user79123 May 01 '24 at 17:32
THIS WORKED FOR ME! THANK YOU!
According to what i read and having recently issues running 24.04 on VM and disabling 3D acceleration i also tried that here...

sudo snap refresh. Does it help? – Archisman Panigrahi Apr 27 '24 at 17:17
