Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for integrating a program code marketplace and a service provider network. A program code marketplace system is configured to provide a program code marketplace through which developers or other users can list program code for sale. Program code offered through the program code marketplace may have an associated execution environment definition that defines an execution environment for the program code. A request may be received to deploy program code available through the program code marketplace to a service provider network for execution. In response thereto, the execution environment definition may be utilized to create an execution environment in the service provider network. The program code may then be deployed to the execution environment in the service provider network for execution. The program code marketplace may integrate with other systems, such as a payments system, for processing micropayments for program code available through the program code marketplace.

Abstract: Features are disclosed relating to a collaborative ticketing system that manages various aspects of ticketing for events (e.g., movies, concerts, sporting events, and the like) using knowledge about the contacts, friends, and other social connections of system users. The collaborative ticketing system may generate dynamic ticket offers that are based on the number of friends, invited by users, ultimately obtaining tickets. The collaborative ticketing system can also streamline the procurement of concessions and other event-related items by allowing users to pre-purchase such items (e.g., in connection with ticket offers), and then pick up the items at the event venue with little or no wait. In addition, users can preview event-related content (e.g., movie trailers) for event providers (e.g., movie studios), and answer questions or otherwise provide feedback about the event-related content in return for special offers, rewards, and other considerations.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate execution of applications through remotely emulated computing devices. An application is executed in a hosted environment. A video signal of the application is encoded into a media stream, which is sent to a client computing device. In various embodiments, access to data that is locally available to the client computing device is facilitated. In various embodiments, data related to the operation of the application is recorded.

Abstract: A game distribution platform includes a game submission interface through which a developer can submit a game. In some embodiments, when a developer submits a game using a game submission interface, the game distribution platform generates a loader for the game. The loader, when downloaded by a gaming device of a user, enables the gaming device to load the game from the platform, and to access player profiles that include game progress data. The loader may be distributed via one or more game portals.

Abstract: Features are disclosed relating to a collaborative ticketing system that manages various aspects of ticketing for events (e.g., movies, concerts, sporting events, and the like) using knowledge about the contacts of system users. The collaborative ticketing system includes a mobile application that includes a personalized user interface through which users can identify movies or other events to attend at specific venues. The mobile application provides functionality for users to publish information to their contacts about the events they want to attend, and to arrange group outings to selected events.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for developing versions of applications based on application fingerprinting. For example, an application may be ported from one operating system platform to another, or an application may be modified to be compatible with a specific device. In one embodiment, an application fingerprint is received for an application. The application fingerprint may be generated based at least in part on a static analysis of the application and a dynamic analysis of the application. A device that is incompatible with the application based at least in part on the application fingerprint may be determined. A modification to the application to make the application compatible with the device may be determined.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, computer systems and methods are provided that allow a game distribution platform to distribute, update and/or control copies of games published across multiple game portals. In some embodiments, copies of the games are maintained in data storage on the game distribution platform and distributed to game portals and/or gaming devices. Additional content for purchase may also be stored on the data storage and available for purchase during a gaming session. Advantageously, in certain embodiments the game distribution platform enables game portals and/or gaming devices to receive the latest version of a game and/or a player's purchased content when a player selects to play the game.

Abstract: Metrics data is generated and gathered based on users' use of mobile device applications. The metrics data may be cached by a mobile app store client on the users' mobile devices before being transmitted to a network application system which may be associated with an electronic catalog through which users can download mobile applications. The network application system may store user metrics information, aggregate that information, and perform analysis of the information. Resulting data may be displayed to users visiting product detail pages for mobile applications. The system may also generate reports to application developers based on how the users of their applications are interacting with the applications.

Abstract: In various embodiments, static, dynamic, and behavioral analyzes may be performed on an application. A set of software libraries employed by the application may be determined. A set of device resources employed by the application may be determined. An application fingerprint is generated for the application. The application fingerprint encodes identifiers for the set of software libraries and identifiers for the set of device resources. Improvements can be recommended based upon an analysis of the application fingerprint.

Abstract: Mobile device applications may be developed and distributed which include abbreviated, content-based references for one or more network resources. Network resource references may be identified by a native shell running on a mobile device, and a network resource lookup may be performed in order to resolve the network resource reference to the network resource. This allows for dynamic access to network-accessible resources such as catalog services, metric services, and advertising services. A mobile application may provide in-app access to such resources without requiring the application's developer to include detailed application programming interface functionality specific to a particular network resource.
