Abstract: Architecture that facilitates the package partitioning of application resources based on conditions, and the package applicability based on the conditions. An index is created for a unified lookup of the available resources. At build time of an application, the resources are indexed and determined to be applicable based on the conditions. The condition under which the resource is applicable is then used to automatically partition the resource into an appropriate package. Each resource package then becomes applicable under the conditions in which the resources within it are applicable, and is deployed to the user if the user merits the conditions (e.g., an English user will receive an English package of English strings, but not a French package). Before the application is run, the references to the resources are merged and can be used to do appropriate lookup of what resources are available.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide tools for capturing spatial gestures performed by a user and scripting the gestures for testing an application under test. Scripts may be produced by capturing movement of extremities of a skeletal body corresponding to the user, wherein the movement is captured according to a change in coordinates of the extremities from an original position. The movement of the extremities may be matched to a predefined gesture found in a gesture database. A script may be generated from the matched predefined gesture with reference to the extremities captured and coordinates of the extremities from the original position, such that the user is emulated.

Abstract: Particular embodiments establish static redirection of a function that is a member of a class to an alternate implementation of the function. A software tool executing on a computer server receives an executable file for an application and a location for an alternate implementation of the function. The function may be written in Objective C. The software tool can be used to locate a structure for the function by traversing serialized metadata in the executable file. The software tool can then be used to modify the metadata in the executable file by updating the value of a selector indicating the location of a current implementation of the function to indicate a location of the alternate implementation. The selector may be included in a element of the structure for the class method. Finally, the application may provide the modified executable file for installation on client devices.
