Packager Manager infomation API for packaging. It provides functions for getting the package information.

Required Header

#include <package_manager.h>

Overview

The package manager is used to retrieve detailed information of the installed packages on the device. This information includes package name, label, path to the icon image, version, type, and installed storage. To retrieve package information, you should get the package_info_h using package_info_create() or package_manager_get_package_info(). The package_manager_foreach_package_info() is used to retrieve all the package information of installed packages. And then package_manager_package_info_cb() is invoked. When the callback function is called, you can get the information using the following functions.
