App Management

The App Management API provides a way to manage io.Connect Desktop apps. It offers abstractions for:

  • Application - a program as a logical entity, registered in io.Connect Desktop with some metadata (name, description, icon, etc.) and with all the configuration needed to spawn one or more instances of it. The App Management API provides facilities for retrieving app metadata and for detecting when an app is started.

  • Instance - a running copy of an app. The App Management API provides facilities for starting/stopping app instances and tracking app-related events.

The App Management API is accessible via the io.appManager object.

⚠️ Note that the App Management API has been deprecated and will be entirely removed in a future release. Use the Apps API accessible via the io.apps object instead.
