command line - Ubuntu Touch: How do I run an ubuntu touch app from the terminal?


How do I run an ubuntu touch app from the terminal?
Where are they stored?




A convenient way for developers to do app testing is by starting them
through adb. To make that convenient we are providing a cli tool,
called ubuntu-app-launch.



So create a remote connection with phablet-shell and start your applications using their desktop filename:


ubuntu-app-launch com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.316
ubuntu-app-launch dialer-app

You'll find your application desktop files in the following folders:



  • /usr/share/applications for system apps and

  • ~/.local/share/applications for user apps.
