  • Automated backward-compatible function updates
    Patent number: 11836477
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described to allow an ADP to be dynamically updated to provide backward compatibility with existing functions in a manner that both intuitive to user experience and provides advantages to the way in which computing systems implement updates to ensure that users with limited technical expertise can update applications. In some implementations, data indicating a first version of a function to be executed by applications developed on a post-update application development platform is obtained. A second version of the function that is associated with a pre-update application development platform is identified. An association between the first version of the function and the second version of the function is generated. A determination that an application developed using the pre-update application development platform is associated with the second version of the function is made.
