    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.
