# Objective
I have been trying to check for the existing of some plugins via
`App::is_plugin_added` to conditionally run some behaviour in the
`Plugin::finish` part of my plugin, before realizing that the plugin
registry is actually not available during this step.
This is because the `App::is_plugin_added` using the plugin registry to
check for previous registration.
## Solution
- Switch the `App::is_plugin_added` to use the list of plugin names to
check for previous registrations
- Add a unit test showcasing that `App::is_plugin_added` works during
`Plugin::finish`
# Objective
Improve performance scalability when adding new event types to a Bevy
app. Currently, just using Bevy in the default configuration, all apps
spend upwards of 100+us in the `First` schedule, every app tick,
evaluating if it should update events or not, even if events are not
being used for that particular frame, and this scales with the number of
Events registered in the app.
## Solution
As `Events::update` is guaranteed `O(1)` by just checking if a
resource's value, swapping two Vecs, and then clearing one of them, the
actual cost of running `event_update_system` is *very* cheap. The
overhead of doing system dependency injection, task scheduling ,and the
multithreaded executor outweighs the cost of running the system by a
large margin.
Create an `EventRegistry` resource that keeps a number of function
pointers that update each event. Replace the per-event type
`event_update_system` with a singular exclusive system uses the
`EventRegistry` to update all events instead. Update `SubApp::add_event`
to use `EventRegistry` instead.
## Performance
This speeds reduces the cost of the `First` schedule in both many_foxes
and many_cubes by over 80%. Note this is with system spans on. The
majority of this is now context-switching costs from launching
`time_system`, which should be mostly eliminated with #12869.
The actual `event_update_system` is usually *very* short, using only a
few microseconds on average.

# Objective
This is a necessary precursor to #9122 (this was split from that PR to
reduce the amount of code to review all at once).
Moving `!Send` resource ownership to `App` will make it unambiguously
`!Send`. `SubApp` must be `Send`, so it can't wrap `App`.
## Solution
Refactor `App` and `SubApp` to not have a recursive relationship. Since
`SubApp` no longer wraps `App`, once `!Send` resources are moved out of
`World` and into `App`, `SubApp` will become unambiguously `Send`.
There could be less code duplication between `App` and `SubApp`, but
that would break `App` method chaining.
## Changelog
- `SubApp` no longer wraps `App`.
- `App` fields are no longer publicly accessible.
- `App` can no longer be converted into a `SubApp`.
- Various methods now return references to a `SubApp` instead of an
`App`.
## Migration Guide
- To construct a sub-app, use `SubApp::new()`. `App` can no longer
convert into `SubApp`.
- If you implemented a trait for `App`, you may want to implement it for
`SubApp` as well.
- If you're accessing `app.world` directly, you now have to use
`app.world()` and `app.world_mut()`.
- `App::sub_app` now returns `&SubApp`.
- `App::sub_app_mut` now returns `&mut SubApp`.
- `App::get_sub_app` now returns `Option<&SubApp>.`
- `App::get_sub_app_mut` now returns `Option<&mut SubApp>.`
