Get list of Chrome extensions from Chrome app

I have a Chrome extension that uses the chrome.management API to get a list of installed Chrome extensions and apps. The problem starts because I also want to use the chrome.syncFileSystem API which only seems to be available to Chrome apps.

If I switch the extension to an app, I can no longer use the chrome.management API. I haven't been able to find an API to access the installed extensions from an app. Any tips?

I don't think you can, not without having both an extension and an app.

Google has a private API to do that, but for public API, they want apps to be as independent as possible from the browser.
