    Abstract: A search system includes a device controller that provisions a device to execute a copy of a selected mobile application. A crawler extracts content and metadata from states of the selected mobile application. A search input state classifier identifies search input states within the states based on a first set of heuristics, including recognition of user-visible search indicia and recognition of metadata that correlates with search functionality. A parameter identifier identifies, for each of the search input states, necessary input parameters. A search function data store stores a record for each identified search function. Each record includes a path to reach a corresponding search input state, an indication of required input parameters, and a mapping of the input parameters to user interface widgets. A query processing system uses the stored search functions to scrape content from the selected mobile application in response to a query.

    Abstract: A disassembler module is configured to generate machine code by performing a disassembly of a compiled iOS application. An intermediate representation generator module is configured to: from the machine code, identify an implementation of a predetermined method of providing a deep link into the iOS application; and generate intermediate representation code by formatting portions of the machine code having predetermined patterns according to predetermined instructions, respectively. A dynamic analysis module is configured to: translate the intermediate representation code into executable code; execute the executable code to identify objects for deep linking; emulate execution of the objects to identify valid ones of the objects; determine deep links for the valid ones of the objects, respectively; and store the deep links in memory.

    Abstract: A mobile application development system includes a developer portal that receives an application from a developer and provides a routing library to the developer to augment the application. An offline analysis system analyzes the application to (i) determine a set of activities that a handler within the application is programmed to resume in response to respective resumption requests from a host operating system and (ii) determine parameters for each of the activities. The offline analysis system generates a set of links that each corresponds to a respective one of the activities. The routing library, installed as part of the augmented application onto a user device, receives a link, from the user device's operating system, that identifies a first activity. The routing library includes instructions for generating a first resumption request based on parameters corresponding to the first activity and transmitting the first resumption request to the augmented application's handler.
