The related_applications field is an array of objects specifying native applications that are installable by, or accessible to, the underlying platform — for example, a native Android application obtainable through the Google Play Store. Such applications are intended to be alternatives to the manifest's website that provides similar/equivalent functionality — like the native app equivalent.
Note: Developer can specify that the native applications are preferred over the web application by setting prefer_related_applications to true.
