Description

Currently the code for managing app (install, update, remove, upgradability, fetching info, ...) is distributed across 3 classes:

  • OC_App
  • OC\App\AppManager
  • OC\Installer

We should consolidate this into a single class to not spread code and functionality as well as reduce the risk to re-implement existing code, because it is no obvious where to find which code.
