Abstract: In embodiments, a device control application reads a configuration file responsive to a first execution of the device control application on a mobile device. The mobile device parses the first configuration file to identify one or more supported devices, managed properties of each of the one or more supported devices, actions that indicate information about the managed properties, and controls associated with at least one of the one or more supported devices or the one or more managed properties, wherein a control causes a specified user input to generate a command to cause a managed property to have a specified value. The mobile device crates a first version of the device control application based on the configuration file during runtime of the device control application based on a result of the parsing. The mobile device then presents the first version of the device control application.

Abstract: In embodiments, a processing device receives an identification of a source code file for a device control application and an associated configuration file for the device control application. The processing device parses the configuration file to identify a first set of classes that are specified in the configuration file but that are not specified in the source code file. The processing device analyzes the source code file to identify a second set of classes that are specified in the source code file. The processing device retrieves the first set of classes and the second set of classes from a library, wherein classes from the library other than the first set of classes and the second set of classes are not retrieved. The processing device generates an executable file for the device control application based on the source code file, the first set of classes and the second set of classes.
