WinRT equivalent of IApplicationActivationManager

[lb90]

In order to activate UWP apps we can use the Application Activation Manager coclass introduced in Windows 8. I wonder if there's a modern WinRT-based replacement API available for launching UWP apps. Thanks!

A way is with AppListEntry.LaunchAsync
You can get AppListEntry from
PackageManager.FindPackagesForUser
Package.GetAppListEntriesAsync

Thanks, that's very helpful!

BTW there's also .GetAppListEntries() if you prefer a non-async form, though that's only available since 10.0.19041.0 (version 2004 aka 20H1).
