Tutorial: application.getInfo

Retrieves information about the application. If the application was not launched from a manifest, the call will return the closest parent application manifest and manifestUrl. initialOptions shows the parameters used when launched programmatically, or the startup_app options if launched from manifest. The parentUuid will be the uuid of the immediate parent, this key will not be present if the app has no parent.

    initialOptions: {
        name: "myApp",
        url: "https://openfin.co",
        uuid: "myApp",
        autoShow: true
    },
    launchMode: 'fin-protocol' || 'fins-protocol' || 'shortcut' || 'command-line' || 'adapter' || 'other' || a process name (ex: 'openfin.exe'),
    manifestUrl: "https://cdn.openfin.co/myapp",
    manifest: {
        startup_app:{
            name: "myApp",
            url: "https://openfin.co",
            uuid: "myApp",
            autoShow: true
