Since this question is very much related to your other post, I replied there.

I merged your post related to third party apps into this thread. How does Bosch Rexroth ensure apps used with ctrlX AUTOMATION are safe and secure? Rexroth Apps Partner Apps Any third party apps Do we screen them prior to allowing them on our App store? Do we make any app creator certify to a security standard? In extension to our own Security mechanisms the Snap technology is a main fundament. Every app is containerized and bundle all related dependencies in one standalone package. This includes also the definition of permissions. See e.g. Ubunto Core Documentation blog entry at snapcraft.io Related to third party app Security We support security by design an an inherent block for our own apps (as stated above). Of course we want to make sure, that also also our partners deliver security-proven apps by using our security features, e.g. User Authorization and Authentification, Reverse Proxy etc. This is one essential part of our quality gates for third-party apps. As part of the partner program, we support our partners in reaching this goal.

Every app have his own functionality and communicate externally with a defined interface. For the Rexroth / company specific apps it’s our target to minimize any interface changes. In the beginning (prototype phase) it might be necessary to make modification at this interfaces. But as soon we reach the release state we hope to avoid this. Means all apps we provide (functional and system apps) should work together also with different version. The behavior of third party apps is not in our hand. But I hope the compatibility in every developer mind.
