# AppHandle

**Package:** `flyte`

Protocol defining the common interface between local and remote app handles.

Both `_LocalApp` (local serving) and `App` (remote serving) satisfy this
protocol, enabling calling code to work uniformly regardless of the serving mode.

```python
protocol AppHandle()
```
