Abstract: A first computing device may receive a request to install an application at the first computing device from a second computing device signed into a same user account as the first computing device. The first computing device may, in response to receiving the request and based on the first computing device not having sufficient available storage space to install the application, download a stub associated with the application from a computing system. The first computing device may install the stub associated with the application.

Abstract: A first computing device signed into a user account may determine a management action to be performed by a second computing device signed into the user account to manage one or more applications installed at the second computing device. The first computing device may select a communication channel for sending a request to perform the management action to the second computing device. The first computing device may send, to the second computing device via the communication channel, the request to perform the management action to manage the one or more applications installed at the second computing device.

Abstract: A first computing device, logged into a user account, efficiently shares application data with one or more second computing devices under the same account. The first device optimizes connections to the second devices based on connectivity heuristics and contextual factors. Companion applications on both devices facilitate seamless communication and data sharing. After connection, companion applications exchange metadata for authorization confirmation, ensuring the second devices and their applications are approved to receive shared data. Once authorized, the first device securely transmits application data through companion applications, which then seamlessly integrate the received data into their respective authorized applications.
