[CDF API] Listing all Flows Custom Apps including life cycle information

As an administrator of CDF in Aker BP I have a need to see all apps we have deployed, not necessarily accessing the apps, but knowing they exists. As a minimum this information should be available through the API.

This is the information I’ve found in the Cognite Docs, I can do it per app from the app repo. But that requires that I already know it exists and that’s the heart of the issue, I don’t know all the apps that exists. If someone has deployed and published an app without activating it, then I have no way of knowing about it. Hiding non-activated apps from most users is a useful feature, but hiding it from the admins is a security breach.

I am aware that tooling for managing this will come, but that does not remove the need for the information to be available through the API. There is still a need to export the information to data/app catalogues for the sake of governance.
