List app installs
Reports the backend’s view of background app-install attempts on this device — status reflects the install ATTEMPT, not device ground truth; list-apps remains authoritative for what is actually installed. Records are in-memory and lost on service restart; terminal records are kept ~15 minutes. Not gated on device readiness, so it also answers while the device is offline or crashed.

Records are scoped to the tenant that owned the device when the install attempt started: after an ownership transfer (e.g. reassignment or a BYOD re-pair), the new owner cannot see the previous tenant’s install attempts, even while those records are still within their retention window above.
(platform, appId) pair that has an install-app attempt in progress or recently finished.
Unlike most Tools/Apps endpoints, this one is not gated on device readiness — it answers from an in-memory job table, not from the device, so it also works while the device is offline, crashed, or otherwise unreachable. That’s the situation this endpoint exists to surface: an install that fails because the device dropped mid-download has no other way to be observed by a caller.
On failure, errorClass narrows down what went wrong from a small closed set:
download_failed— fetching the app asset failedadb_install_failed— the download succeeded butadb install-multiplefailedtimeout— the attempt exceeded its background time budgetpanic— the install goroutine panickedfailed— anything else
Records are held in memory only and are lost on a service restart. Terminal (
succeeded/failed) records are kept for roughly 15 minutes after their last update, then evicted; a running record is evicted after roughly 6 minutes without an update (longer than the install’s own background time budget, so this only ever drops genuine leaks, not slow-but-live installs).Authorizations
