1. A portable communication device for supporting an edge computing (EC) service, the portable communication device comprising:
a communication circuitry;
memory configured to store a service enabler for supporting the EC service, a first application and instructions; and
a processor operatively connected to the communication circuitry and the memory,
wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to be operable to control to:
obtain, using the service enabler, a list of at least one second application corresponding to a host server from an external server when the first application is executed, wherein the at least one second application is associated with the first application and can support the EC service by the host server,
select a second application from the list of the at least one second application corresponding to the host server, and
connect, through the communication circuitry, with the host server to operate the EC service.
