A system and a method provide an inter-application communication framework. A first application executed on a first device may establish communication and/or interaction with a second application executed by a second device and compatible with the first application. The first device may be connected to the second device by a network which enables the communication between the first application and the second application. The first device may support different application frameworks relative to the second device, and the first application and the second application may exist in different application frameworks. The first device may query an application knowledge repository to determine one or more compatible applications which exist in an application framework supported by the second device. In response, the first device may obtain identifiers which may identify the compatible applications in the application framework supported by the second device.
