| # Chrome OS Apps Platform |
| |
| Chrome OS features multiple app platforms, such as ARC++ and desktop PWAs, |
| that are based on different underlying technologies. UX-wise, it is an |
| explicit goal to minimise the differences between them and give users the |
| feeling that all apps have as similar properties, management, and features as |
| possible. |
| |
| This directory contains generic code to facilitate app platforms on Chrome OS |
| communicating with the browser and each other. This layer consists of |
| app-platform-agnostic code, which each app platform's custom implementation |
| then plugs into. Example features include: |
| |
| * `ash/apps/intent_helper` - allows installed apps that handle particular |
| URLs to be opened by users from the omnibox. For ARC++, custom code queries |
| the ARC++ container; for desktop PWAs, data is contained in the browser |
| itself. |
