<QlikEmbed ui="analytics/selections" appId={appId} />

and getting app instance using QlikEmbedConfig context

const hostConfig = useContext(QlikEmbedConfig);

const app = useApp(appId, hostConfig);

and also have a hook useApp :

export const useApp = (appId, hostConfig) => {

const [app, setApp] = useState(null);

useEffect(() => {

const getApp = async () => {

const session = qix.openAppSession({ appId, hostConfig });

const doc = await session.getDoc();

setApp(doc);

};

if (hostConfig) {

return app;

}

}, [appId, hostConfig]);

I just came across your post. I don't know if you've accomplished your goal, but to build on your own example, you can get the current selections like this:

const app = useApp(appId, hostConfig) const getSelections = async(app) => { const selectionsObj = await app.getCurrentSelectionObject(); const selectionsLayout = await currentSelection.getLayout(); return selectionLayout.qSelectionObject?.qSelections); }

You can also set selectionsObj.on('changed', ... and fetch the new layout when selections change
