Update/modify an iApp instance with iControlREST

Use the 

PATCH
method to modify the field(s).

Check the 

selfLink
field in the output you got when you created the iApp. That's where the endpoint (URL) is. In your case, that's 

"selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/application/service/~Common~test.app~test?ver=13.0.0",

For example,

Create an iApp (TestApp):

 curl -sku admin: https:///mgmt/tm/sys/application/service \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -X POST -d@iAppMakeDel.dat

The output says:

{
 ...
 "fullPath":"/Common/TestApp.app/TestApp",
 "selfLink":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/application/service/~Common~TestApp.app~TestApp?ver=11.6.1",
 ...
 }

Get the iApp (equivalent to 

tmsh list sys application service TestApp.app/TestApp
😞

 curl -sku admin: \
  https:///mgmt/tm/sys/application/service/~Common~TestApp.app~TestApp

Modify the Description field:

 curl -D - -sku admin: \ 
  https:///mgmt/tm/sys/application/service/~Common~TestApp.app~TestApp \
  -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"description":"Hello World"}'
