Desktop System API Migration

Using one of the desktop system APIs

The Desktop System APIs are now no longer part of the core Adapter package. Firstly you will need to install the package from NuGet as per this article.

Once you have installed the package you can follow the examples below for all supported functions. For any functions that are no longer support directly in .NET, you can leverage the channels api and a JavaScript based provider to proxy call the equivalent API from JavaScript.

One of the main differences to note is that all functions are now await'able rather than accepting a callback and also return defined types rather than the abstract json.

runtime.System.getAllApplications((ack) =>
{
    var data = ack.getData();
    foreach ( var appToken in data.ToArray() )
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(appToken["uuid"]);
    }    
});
