Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, for selecting one or more native application deep links from search results and instantiating, for each native application deep link that is selected, a background instance of the native application to which the native application deep link corresponds; determining, in response to an occurrence of a background unload event, background instances of the native applications instantiated from the native application deep links and that were not brought to the foreground prior to the occurrence of the background unload event; and terminating each of the background instances of the native applications instantiated that were not brought to the foreground prior to the occurrence of the background unload event.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing a cloud emulation of a native application accessible at a user device while the native application is downloading on the user device. After the downloading is complete, the user device may retrieved the state data generated during the cloud emulation and launch the native application and resume the state of the native application as achieved by the cloud emulator.
