I think it is also important (and a common use case) that apps need to require specific functions / classes that might need to be installed by a systems administrator. But you're idea of requiring other ownCloud apps is also valid! We could include <app> elements in the <requirements> section like you have demonstrated. </div><div><br></div><div>We can also put in a requirement for the php version, and owncloud version.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Tom</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
