Can I get an App using the External_ID?

Perhaps I'm thinking about this wrong...

I setup a script to auto-created a suite of Apps in a Workspace using PodioPHP Api.  This works great!  Now I'm attempting to create some workflows using the API (if item is updated in one app, I want to add an item to another app).  

My issue comes when I'm creating the item in the other App. I don't know the App_Id because it will change with every setup.  However I do know the App's External_Id because I set it during App creation.

Unfortunately the PodioItem::create() function wants me to use the App_Id.  So my question is, how do I get the App_Id from the App's External_Id?  Is the answer to use the PodioApp::get_all() function to get the list of Apps in my workspace and search it for the App I want?

Thanks!

  Hi Scott,

  I would suggest storing the app ids locally in your application, otherwise you will have to iterate over all apps in the workspace and check the external id like you mention.

  Best,
  Andreas
