launchApp UUID List

[Durus]

I want to use the launchApi (https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/device-api/system/) to start the Fitbit weather app from my clockface but I can't find the UUID for the weather app.

It might be the one in the docs ( but I don't think it is ).

What would be nice is a list of the UUIDs for the built in Fitbit apps. If it exists I couldn't find it. Does anyone know of a list or the weather apps UUID?

On a releated note I didn't see in the docs if there was a way of checking if the app is installed before trying to start it. Is checking if the app is installed before trying to start it possible?

What currently happens is an exception is thrown. The weird part of the exception is it says unhandled even though I wrapped the launchApp call in a try/catch block.

[10:04:26 AM]Unhandled exception: Error: Unable to launch app with uuid: "12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678"
? at app/index.js:123,6

You can browse the web gallery and find the UUIDs for each app in the URL.

I think for the launch, you can try/catch. It won't launch if it's not installed, but you can't check if an app is installed.

Is there a way to check if the app is installed before calling launchApp?
