Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for authenticating a user. An example computer-implemented method includes verifying compliance with one or more security procedures for a given group-based communication browser session based on a comparison of a boot data object and an authentication data. The boot data object includes a set of standardized parameters of a booting operation and the authentication data includes a set of core information enabling access to the given group-based communication browser session. The computer-implemented method also includes receiving group-based communication data specific to the group-based communication browser session from the group-based communication system. The computer-implemented method further includes displaying at least a portion of the group-based communication data specific to the group-based communication browser session. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for initiating a group-based communication browser session. An example computer-implemented method includes generating a group-based communication browser session initiation request via a processor of the apparatus. The computer-implemented method also includes loading a boot data object. The boot data object includes one or more predefined parameters of a booting operation stored locally on the client device and the boot data object is applicable to a plurality of executable software applications. The computer-implemented method further includes downloading at least one asset data and application data based on a specific application of the plurality of executable software applications from a group-based communication system. The at least one of the asset data and the application data is configured for generation of at least a portion of a display associated with the group-based communication browser session.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for background loading data. The computer-implemented method includes executing a group-based communication browser session module stored in at least one memory. The computer-implemented method also includes causing a service worker to request an update for the group-based communication browser session module during execution of the group-based communication browser session module. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving the update for the group-based communication browser session during the operation of the group-based communication browser session. The computer-implemented method still further includes caching the update via the service worker. The computer-implemented method also includes restarting the group-based communication browser session module after caching the update.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for background updating an application. An example computer-implemented method includes activating a group-based communication browser session within a first display window of an apparatus. The computer-implemented method also includes transmitting an update request for the group-based communication browser session to a group-based communication system upon determining that a window focus of the apparatus is on a second display window. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving an update for the group-based communication browser session. The computer-implemented method still further includes caching the update for the group-based communication browser session via a memory of the apparatus. The computer-implemented method also includes refreshing the group-based communication browser session based at least in part on the update upon determining that the window focus of the apparatus changes to the first display window.

Abstract: Provided is a computing device of a group based communication system configured to initiate and execute a group-based communication browser session. An example computing device is configured to receive a group-based communication browser session initiation request. After receiving a group-based communication browser session initiation request, the example computing device will determine whether the computing is connected to an Internet. If the computing device is determined to be connected to the Internet, the example computing device determine whether a group-based communication service cache is available. If the group-based communication service cache is available, the example computing device will fetch a group-based application asset set from the group-based communication service cache. Then the example computing device will determine whether a group-based communication browser cache is available.
