Starts an application that has been identified by means of an application ID or application's URL address.
The method may be called only if the application is in "ready", "starting" or "started" state.
Calling it when the app is in the "ready" state will result in changing the state to "starting". The application's URL will then be loaded in the background. The app will be shown to the user when the loading finishes. At this point the "onShow" callback will be called and the state will change to "started".
Calling it when the app is in the "starting" state will have no effect.
Calling it when the app is in "started" state will bring the app to front.
The option to show or hide an application during its start is only supported under Android and iOS.
