Only GNOME extension and native icons are displayed. Other icons like Dropbox, shutter, enpass etc. do not appear in the top bar.
Am I missing something? I already tried using extensions that I used with GNOME before but nothing (Topicons Plus, Ubuntu appindicators etc.) seems to help.
Currently I'm using Ubuntu Xorg, but in Wayland I have the same issue.

Indicator implementation seems like a royal mess now especially when upgrading from an older release. Try this too: extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support

I've encountered the same problem. I tried to remove the indicator-application-service completely, and see, the problem went away!
I guess coming from 16.04 leaves some Unity-related stuff on my machine that is not only obsolete but prevents the AppIndicator extension from properly working.
What to do:
sudo apt remove indicator-application

I have the same problem with 17.10. At least the following command helps here to bring the icons back until the next reboot:
killall indicator-application-service
Edit: This workaround is running fine here without using any gnome-extension like "Topicon-plus" or "Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support".

Yes, in Ubuntu 17.10. Directly after upgrading from 17.04 to 17.10 the indicators were shown, but after rebooting Ubuntu not anymore. With this upper workarround i can bring them back until next reboot.

As suggested here, try removing all obsolete indicators if any still present
indicator-application
indicator-appmenu
indicator-bluetooth
indicator-common
indicator-datetime
indicator-keyboard
indicator-messages
indicator-network
indicator-power
indicator-printers
indicator-session
indicator-sound
indicator-transfer
indicator-transfer-download-manager
Just execute this command in a terminal:
sudo apt purge indicator-application indicator-appmenu indicator-bluetooth indicator-common indicator-datetime indicator-keyboard indicator-messages indicator-network indicator-power indicator-printers indicator-session indicator-sound indicator-transfer indicator-transfer-download-manager

Nothing from suggested works for Shutter app in Ubuntu 18.04 as libgtk2-appindicator-perl package has been removed from main repo. To enable the Shutter indicator in Ubuntu 18.04 install libappindicator-dev:
libappindicator-dev
and Gtk2::AppIndicator perl extension:
sudo cpan -i Gtk2::AppIndicator
Restart Shutter, its indicator should appear now in system tray.

Click the nine dots on your dock.
At the search field write "tweak". You will see gnome tweak tools:
If you don't have it installed you can click it and that will open software center. You can install it from there.
After, run tweaks and go to extensions.
Just turn the appindicators on and you will have a working system tray where you can see the dropbox, telegram or other icons.

Added two screenshots and a better explanation. Didn't do it before because my system is in portuguese, but I think it's clear anyway.

This solution works and does not need to uninstall anything. Just uses the "Ubuntu Tweak" tool.

I meant "gnome-tweak-tool"; not "ubuntu-tweak", which I wrote in the comment above.

Another possible solution is delete Indicator-application autostart .desktop file. It's installed in
/etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop
If you dont want to remove it and sometimes is using Unity 7. This made Indicator-application not start at login.

Yes, i am use an extension called "Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support", but i am not sure if it works because of the extension. Got this tip from OMGUbuntu-Website.

As suggested here, try removing all obsolete indicators if any still present
indicator-application
indicator-appmenu
indicator-bluetooth
indicator-common
indicator-datetime
indicator-keyboard
indicator-messages
indicator-network
indicator-power
indicator-printers
indicator-session
indicator-sound

Nothing from suggested works for Shutter app in Ubuntu 18.04 as libgtk2-appindicator-perl package has been removed from main repo. To enable the Shutter indicator in Ubuntu 18.04 install libappindicator-dev:
libappindicator-dev
and Gtk2::AppIndicator perl extension:
sudo cpan -i Gtk2::AppIndicator
Restart Shutter, its indicator should appear now in system tray.

Click the nine dots on your dock.
At the search field write "tweak". You will see gnome tweak tools:
If you don't have it installed you can click it and that will open software center. You can install it from there.
After, run tweaks and go to extensions.
Just turn the appindicators on and you will have a working system tray where you can see the dropbox, telegram or other icons.

Added two screenshots and a better explanation. Didn't do it before because my system is in portuguese, but I think it's clear anyway.

This solution works and does not need to uninstall anything. Just uses the "Ubuntu Tweak" tool.

I meant "gnome-tweak-tool"; not "ubuntu-tweak", which I wrote in the comment above.

Another possible solution is delete Indicator-application autostart .desktop file. It's installed in
/etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop
If you dont want to remove it and sometimes is using Unity 7. This made Indicator-application not start at login.

Indicator implementation seems like a royal mess now especially when upgrading from an older release. Try this too: extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support
