COMPARTMENTALIZING APPLICATION DISTRIBUTION FOR DISPARATE ELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

Techniques are provided for generating a logical application by grouping multiple physical distributions of an application for programing a plurality of electronic devices. A logical application can run separate commands through a single interface, lessening the number of connections needed between different user's electronic devices (e.g., smart phones, tablets, workstations, wearable computers) and a company's various servers. In certain embodiments, different physical distributions of the application may correspond to different operating systems versions of the application. Compiled code for each of these operating systems and device types is controlled and assigned to select users' devices from vastly different distribution architectures. A policy associated with a user on a device is identified and an appropriate version of the logical application is added to an application catalog of the user's device based on the policy. A user of the device may install the appropriate version of the logical application onto the device.
