The appinst-mgr service is used by the QNX App Portal client to install/uninstall apps. QNX App Portal is an application showcase where developers can submit their apps for users of the QNX CAR platform to download and evaluate on their targets.

The appinst-mgr service subscribes to the /pps/services/appinst-mgr/control object for commands that apps want to issue, and then publishes results to the /pps/services/appinst-mgr/status object.

Commands
