You need to do (kill the old instance):
killall gnome-software
gnome-software --prefer-local
I've even gone as far as to try appstream-util install
/path/to/appdata.xml
but I'm not sure if that does what I want as the documentation is pretty
light for the options.
"appstream-util validate foo.appdata.xml" does the validation, but
gnome-software is the only client that can do a graphical "preview" of
what it looks like. Perhaps I need to fix that.
