Abstract:
An electronic device displays a first application. The device detects a user input requesting an operation of a first type and displays a user interface with application icons. Each application icon in the application icons corresponds to a respective application that is capable of performing the operation of the first type when stored in the memory of the device. The application icons include one or more application icons that correspond to one or more applications that are not stored in the memory of the device. The device detects activation of an application icon, in the application icons, that corresponds to a second application that is not stored in the memory of the electronic device, and installs the second application in the memory of the device.
Abstract:
A first electronic device stores in its memory one or more installation files for a first version of an application. A local connection is established between the first electronic device and a second electronic device. The local connection is independent of Internet connectivity. Using the local connection, a determination is made as to whether the first version of the application is installed on the second electronic device. In response to a determination that the first version of the application is not installed on the second electronic device, the first electronic device sends, to the second electronic device through the local connection, the one or more installation files for the first version of the application.
