Hello webOS TV Developers, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on running a webOS TV application alongside its operating system, and I have encountered a specific challenge. When turning on my LG TV, I am attempting to launch an application in the background. Despite trying various methods, it appears that my application does not automatically start. If anyone has faced a similar challenge or possesses knowledge in this area, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Any tips, code snippets, or recommended resources would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance for your time and support. I look forward to hearing from the webOS TV developer community. Best regards. ---

Currently, there is no API provided to automatically launch an app when the TV is turned on. Sorry for not being helpful. ---

It seems like the TV doesn’t support running two applications simultaneously. Even when I change the value of the appinfo.json file to handlerRelaunch: true/false, my application still doesn’t behave differently. It closes when I open another application. Is there something missing or incorrect in my approach? Thank you! ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/webostv/original/1X/4e79d01bf0fa6723802f28e82ac05c9075e9379e.png) ---

Currently, there is also no API provided to launch two applications simultaneously. ---

Is there any documentation or articles from the publisher regarding the ability to run two apps simultaneously on webOS TV? I’m trying to solve my problem myself, and I want to make sure I properly understand the current limitations of the system. If there is any source of information that the publisher provides or if there is a detailed tutorial article, I would be very grateful if you could share it so that I can update and provide explanations to customers. Customers request to develop their own applications. Thank you!
