Can installApp and subscribeToApp in Atlassian GraphQL API Be Used for Atlassian Connect Apps?

Hi everyone,
I’m working with Atlassian Connect and came across the installApp and subscribeToApp mutations in the Atlassian GraphQL API. From what I’ve seen, they seem mainly intended for Forge apps — but I’d like to know if these mutations can also be used to install and subscribe to Atlassian Connect apps.

Specifically, I’m wondering:

  1. Can installApp or subscribeToApp be used to install Atlassian Connect apps, or are they strictly limited to Forge apps?
  2. If Connect apps are supported, what parameters should be provided (e.g. appId, environmentKey, envKey etc.)?
  3. Is there any example or documentation showing how to install or subscribe to a Connect app using GraphQL?

For context:

  • I’m hosting the Connect app externally with a valid atlassian-connect.json.
  • I can install it via the UPM manually without issue.
  • I’m looking for a way to automatically subscribe an Atlassian Connect app, preferably using the GraphQL API or any other supported API.
