| 1             | <p><strong>Initialization and Authentication</strong><br>The Host App initializes the DTIS SDK and connects to Ignite. This action establishes a secure connection between the two components and authenticates the Host App with Ignite. For more information, see <a href="/pages/GJaze6fh4RJbTRqJB9s9">Connect to Ignite</a>.</p> |
| 2             | <p><strong>Launch App Request</strong><br>The Host App calls the <a href="/pages/AIn3uGAwMb5jQwqCpUIZ"><code>performAction()</code> method</a> to open a Target App on the device. The call contains the app you want to open as well the option to receive a callback on the status of this action.</p>                             |
| 3             | <p><strong>Ignite Opens Target App</strong><br>Ignite opens the Target App on the device.</p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| 4             | <p><strong>Launch Progress Notifications</strong><br>If you specified callback notification, Ignite sends callbacks for you to monitor the progress of the app launch.</p>                                                                                                                                                           |
