Hi,

The News app does not have an option to select the list of available apps within the link pulldown menu.

It can only select color. How can we link from a News App to an external SxS App?

Thank you.

    After using the launch command to launch the News app, the response will contain the instanceId of the launched app. Then, you can use link command to link that application to the SxS Application.

    Launch Command

    Request
    {"command":"launch","sessionToken":"<token>","appId":"News","context":{"entities":[{"RIC":"TRI.N"}]}}

    Response
    {"isSuccess":true,"instanceId":"47743010"}

    Link Command

    Request
    {"command":"link","sessionToken":"<token>","targetInstanceId":"47743010"}

    Response
    {"isSuccess":true}

    After that, you will see that the News App is linked to the SxS application.
