appplaceholdersyncd(8) System Manager's Manual appplaceholdersyncd(8)

appplaceholdersyncd — Agent which syncs app info between devices.

appplaceholdersyncd This agent exists to support showing icons of apps installed on other devices owned by the user. It syncs a minimally-sized "placeholder" to provide enough info for registering the app with LaunchServices and for rendering the app's icon.

This command provides a system service and is not intended to be invoked directly.
