Is it possible for several high level apps to talk to a single high level app? I need to have several of them communicate with a canbus controller, and am considering using one high level app as a gateway for the others.

It is not duplicate.
This is a communication question between HLApps.

The documentation refers to running 1 high-level app and 1 RT app simultaneously using the Partner applications feature. Azure Sphere currently does not support running 2 high-level apps. Hope this helps.
The docs I referenced do not make that clear at all. Please fix them - I've wasted a lot of time over the poor quality of sphere documentation.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused. Your feedback has been considered. We have already updated the documentation to add more clarity. Kindly check Partner applications and let us know if you have any other queries.
The sphere does support cross-rt communication using mailboxes.

Hello @Jakesays- Azure Sphere does not support running multiple high-level apps. You may find documentation on internet indicating this is possible, but please note that this scenario is not tested and supported at this time.
Please submit a feature request @ https://feedback.azure.com/forums/915433-azure-sphere for product teams to review and prioritize the ask.

You guys need to get your stories straight. It is in the Sphere official documentation that multiples are supported:

Partner applications
Applications that work together can be considered partner applications and then can be sideloaded separately. When you sideload an application that has a partner, the partner application remains on the Azure Sphere device if it has already been deployed. Each application declares a list of its partners in its project configuration.
