  • Patent number: 9367299
    Abstract: An application and system are provided that prevent an application repository from accepting a new installation package if the new application installation package would not be successfully installed on devices to which it is directed. The version number and constraints provided with the new application installation package may be compared to that of installation packages already existing or published within the repository to determine whether or not the new installation package will be unreachable by a device group to which it is directed. An indication may be provided if that new installation package is unreachable by at least one device group to which it is directed.

  • Publication number: 20150286478
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide systems and methods for providing one or more versions of an application to one or more subsets of users based on measured performance of the one or more versions of the application. A method may include providing a first version of an application to a first subset of users of the application. Next, performance of the first version of the application may be measured and a second subset of users of the application may be selected based on the performance of the first version of the application. As a result, a second version of the application may be provided to the second subset of users of the application.
