Methods and Systems for Installing an Application Version via Close-Range Communications

摘要

A first electronic device stores in its memory one or more installation files for a first version of an application. A local connection is established between the first electronic device and a second electronic device. The local connection is independent of Internet connectivity. Using the local connection, a determination is made as to whether the first version of the application is installed on the second electronic device. In response to a determination that the first version of the application is not installed on the second electronic device, the first electronic device sends, to the second electronic device through the local connection, the one or more installation files for the first version of the application.
