But you can use it by tools like d-feet, dbus-send or busctl.

For example, use the PackageDesktopPath api to query the desktop path of any installed package.

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.deepin.dde.Lastore1 /org/deepin/dde/Lastore1 org.deepin.dde.Lastore1.Manager.PackageDesktopPath string:"gedit"
