chrome.management.getAll only partially returns the installed apps

[Leo Yang]

I'm trying to use chrome.management API to launch a pwa app from an extension. So I tried to use the getAll api to return all installed apps as the first  step. However it seems to only return extensions and chrome apps. Can it be used to return user installed PWA apps ? if not is there an api for this ?

I filed an issue for this feature nearly 3 years ago. Welcome to star.

Oh great. I have starred. It appears to be a regression issue according to this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1263843

regression? I remember it never supported PWA installed apps.

In the past, chrome.management API was used for chrome apps, themes and extensions. Then chrome apps were replaced by PWA. But chrome.management didn't keep up with the change.
