Can SharePoint 2013 apps run in SharePoint Foundation 2013?

Question

I apologize in advance if this is a silly question, but I'm new to SharePoint, don't fully understand the concept of SharePoint apps and was asked to investigate this. I've been told that SharePoint Foundation 2013 does not run SharePoint apps, but I can't find anything to verify this claim.

About six minutes into this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uf4wvQ2we0 Yaroslav talks about rumours that the app infrastructure isn't supported on SharePoint Foundation.

Can SharePoint 2013 apps run in SharePoint Foundation 2013?

Answer 1

Yes, you can run SharePoint 2013 apps in SharePoint Foundation 2013, SharePoint Server 2013 Standard, and SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise as well as future Office 365 support.

You can back this up by going to any MSDN page about SharePoint 2013 apps and looking at the text at the top of the article that says "Applies to:".

You could use Install and manage apps for SharePoint 2013 or Overview of apps for SharePoint 2013 or even Configure an environment for apps for SharePoint (SharePoint 2013).
