On what version of Ubuntu (Touch or Desktop, 14.04, 14.10, etc...), and on what hardware or configuration? – Wilf Nov 12 '14 at 22:00

A convenient way for developers to do app testing is by starting them through
adb. To make that convenient we are providing a cli tool, calledubuntu-app-launch.
So create a remote connection with phablet-shell and start your applications using their desktop filename:
ubuntu-app-launch com.ubuntu.calculator_calculator_1.3.316
ubuntu-app-launch dialer-app
You'll find your application desktop files in the following folders:
/usr/share/applicationsfor system apps and~/.local/share/applicationsfor user apps.
