Hi, in order to embbed an object from the Qlik Sense application, what is the difference betweer using the app API https://qlik.dev/apis/javascript/capability/#definitions-qapp-entries-getobject:

app.getObject("LB01","uPyZavD");

var app = qlik.openApp('c31e2aba-3b46-4b13-8b87-c5c2514dea1d'); app.visualization.get('xGhjKl').then(function(vis){ vis.show("QV01"); });

I think the difference is getObject is synchronous, including waiting for the object and showing it.

visualization.get is asynchronous.

The recommended approach going forward is to use the qlik-embed library rather than the capability APIs.
