App Install Service

This directory contains the App Install Service, a ChromeOS only component of the App Service that unifies installation of different app types through a common interface.

There are two entry points for the interface:

• AppInstallService for C++ clients.
• almanac://install-app for web clients, see AppInstallNavigationThrottle for further details.

This directory is currently in development and doesn't have full functionality yet. As of 2024/03 it only supports the installation of web apps with metadata hosted in the almanac database (go/cad-melting-pot-prd).
