I'm creating an app clip and whilst I see all of what the app clip is (including session and icon for the session), I was expecting to be able to see the clip in 'Recently added' like in Keynote and other session videos.

After installing the clip, I would have expected to be able to re-launch, and test out the app clip behaviour as a user would.

As a developer I think I wouldn't be alone in thinking/expecting that?

This isn't supported today, you'll need to launch your app clip through Xcode and specify the _XCAppClipURL environment variable every time you'd like to run it. I'd encourage you to request any enhancements via Feedback Assistant.

Testing with a URL is fine to launch and test experiences, but I’d like to exercise the clip as a user would to re-run after data is stored, etc (without being plugged into Xcode).
Ideally I'd like to test to test re-engaging the Clip without invocation (either physical or digital)
