## Includes

## Description

For GsApps of kind `AS_COMPONENT_KIND_DESKTOP_APP`, this object represents a 1:1 mapping to a .desktop file. The design is such so you can't have different GsApp's for different versions or architectures of a package. For other AppStream component types, GsApp maps their properties and `AS_COMPONENT_KIND_GENERIC` is used if their type is a generic software component. For GNOME Software specific app-like entries, which don't correspond to desktop files or distinct software components, but e.g. represent a system update and its individual components, use the separate GsAppSpecialKind enum and `gs_app_set_special_kind` while setting the AppStream component-kind to generic.

The GsPluginLoader de-duplicates the GsApp instances that are produced by plugins to ensure that there is a single instance of GsApp for each id, making the id the primary key for this object. This ensures that actions triggered on a GsApp in different parts of gnome-software can be observed by connecting to signals on the GsApp.

Information about other GsApp objects can be stored in this object, for instance in the `gs_app_add_related()` method or `gs_app_get_history()`.

## Functions

### gs_app_state_to_string ()

    const gchar *
    gs_app_state_to_string (GsAppState state);

Converts the enumerated value to an text representation.

#### Parameters

state | the GsAppState. |

#### Returns

string version of `state` , or `NULL` for unknown

### gs_app_new ()

    GsApp *
    gs_app_new (const gchar *id);

Creates a new application object.

The ID should only be set when the application ID (with optional prefix) is known; it is perfectly valid to use `gs_app_new()` with an `id` of `NULL`, and then relying on another plugin to set the `id` using `gs_app_set_id()` based on some other information.

For instance, a GsApp is created with no ID when returning results from the packagekit plugin, but with the default source name set as the package name. The source name is read by the appstream plugin, and if matched in the AppStream XML the correct ID is set, along with other higher quality data like the application icon and long description.

#### Parameters

id | an application ID, or `NULL`, e.g. "org.gnome.Software.desktop" |

#### Returns

a new GsApp

Since: 3.22

### gs_app_new_from_unique_id ()

    GsApp *
    gs_app_new_from_unique_id (const gchar *unique_id);

`gs_app_new_from_unique_id` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Creates a new application object.

The unique ID will be parsed to set some information in the application such as the scope, bundle kind, id, etc. Unlike `gs_app_new()`, it cannot take a `NULL` argument.

#### Parameters

unique_id | an application unique ID, e.g. `system/flatpak/gnome/desktop/org.gnome.Software.desktop/master` |

#### Returns

a new GsApp

Since: 3.22

### gs_app_set_from_unique_id ()

    void
    gs_app_set_from_unique_id (GsApp *app,
                               const gchar *unique_id,
                               AsComponentKind kind);

Sets details on an application object.

The unique ID will be parsed to set some information in the application such as the scope, bundle kind, id, etc.

#### Parameters

app | a GsApp |
unique_id | an application unique ID, e.g. `system/flatpak/gnome/desktop/org.gnome.Software.desktop/master` |

Since: 3.26

### gs_app_to_string ()

    gchar *
    gs_app_to_string (GsApp *app);

A multi-line string

    1
    2
    3
    PACKAGE --> NORMAL
    PACKAGE --> SYSTEM
    NORMAL  --> SYSTEM

Finds the most appropriate icon in the `app` ’s set of icons to be loaded at the given `size` ×`scale` to represent the application. This might be provided by the backend at the given `size` , or downsized from a larger icon provided by the backend. The return value is guaranteed to be suitable for loading as a pixbuf at `size` , if it’s not `NULL`.

If an image at least `size` pixels in width isn’t available, and `fallback_icon_name` has not been provided, `NULL` will be returned. If `fallback_icon_name` has been provided, a GIcon representing that will be returned, and `NULL` is guaranteed not to be returned.

Icons which come from a remote server (over HTTP or HTTPS) will be returned as a pointer into a local cache, which may not have been populated. You must call `gs_remote_icon_ensure_cached()` on icons of type GsRemoteIcon to download them; this function will not do that for you.

This function may do disk I/O or image resizing, but it will not do network I/O to load a pixbuf. It should be acceptable to call this from a UI thread.

#### Parameters

app | a GsApp |
size | size (width or height, square) of the icon to fetch, in device pixels |
scale | scale of the icon to fetch, typically from `gtk_widget_get_scale_factor()` |
