Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, methods and techniques for providing network applications. For instance, remote system(s) may generate a link that provides access to a network application. After generating the link, the remote system(s) may provide the link to a device of a source, such as a user, a developer, or a third-party service. The source may then use the device to share the link with a user. For example, the source may use the device to send a message that includes the link, post the link on a website, or share the link using a social media platform. The user may then use a device to view and select the link. Based on selecting the link, the remote system(s) may perform one or more actions. For example, the remote system(s) may create a session for the network application and provide the device with data to connect to the session.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for sharing content associated with network applications. For instance, a user may want to share content for a network application, such as a game stream for a gaming application. As such, system(s) may launch a broadcasting session on a first virtual server and launch the network application on a second virtual server. The first virtual server may then receive content data representing states of the network application from the second virtual server. Additionally, the first virtual server may receive video data representing the user and/or audio data representing user speech from a user device. The first virtual server may then generate broadcasting data using the content data, the video data, and the audio data. After generating the broadcasting data, the system(s) may send the broadcasting data to one or more computing devices associated with a user account.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, methods and techniques for recreating the outputting of content by an electronic device. For instance, system(s) may process (e.g., encode) first source data in order to generate second source data. The system(s) may then store the second source data in one or more databases and send a copy of the second source data to the electronic device. The electronic device may process (e.g., decode) the second source data in order to output content represented by the second source data. The electronic device may also generate event data representing events that occurred while processing the second source data. The system(s) may receive the event data from the electronic device and use the event data to process the second source data similar to the electronic device. This way, the system(s) are able to output the content similarly to how the electronic device output the content.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for transferring a session associated with an application between electronic devices. For instance, system(s) may receive, from a first electronic device, a first selection associated with the network application. The system(s) may then create the session for the network application and send, to the first electronic device, first content related to the session. Later, the system(s) may receive, from a second electronic device, a second selection associated with the network application. The system(s) may then determine that the session is still active for the first electronic device and transfer the session to being active for the second electronic device. As such, the system(s) may begin to send, to the second electronic device, second content related to the session. In some circumstances, the system(s) may also cause a control device to begin controlling the session that is now active for the second electronic device.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, methods and techniques for providing network applications. For instance, remote system(s) may generate a link that provides access to a network application. After generating the link, the remote system(s) may provide the link to a device of a source, such as a user, a developer, or a third-party service. The source may then use the device to share the link with a user. For example, the source may use the device to send a message that includes the link, post the link on a website, or share the link using a social media platform. The user may then use a device to view and select the link. Based on selecting the link, the remote system(s) may perform one or more actions. For example, the remote system(s) may create a session for the network application and provide the device with data to connect to the session.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for an updatable package application. Updated static content elements of the packaged application are obtained from a content delivery service. The content update is verified as a function of the component static content elements and a manifest file. The application is reconfigured to execute as a function of the updated static content elements.
