Clone method, apparatus, device and medium of application program

Abstract

Provided are an application program cloning method and apparatus, a device and a medium. The method specifically comprises: receiving a cloning establishment request regarding an application program; responding to the cloning establishment request, and acquiring a storage space in which the application program is not installed, wherein the storage space is used for representing a space provided for an operating system user; and establishing a cloned application of the application program in the storage space in which the application program is not installed. In the embodiments of the present application, the stability of a cloned application can be improved, a multi-instance upgrade process of an application program can be simplified, and the number of supported cloned applications can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart terminals, and in particular to an application clone method, an application clone system, an application clone device, a device, and a machine-readable medium. Background technique [0002] With the development of software and hardware technologies of smart terminals, users have more and more demands on APPs (application programs, Application) in smart terminals. During the daily use of smart terminals, users may need to log in to the same APP with multiple accounts at the same time. For example, for social apps, multiple accounts of the user need to be logged in at the same time to meet the needs of social work and social life respectively; Conveniently carry out props gifting, trading and other operations. [0003] In an existing solution, the login of multiple accounts is realized by tampering with the specific information (such as package name, path name, etc.) of the original APP. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing solutions are usually implemented by a third-party APP. If the third-party APP is unstable or not compatible enough, it will easily affect the stability of the new APP, that is, the existing solutions have the problem of poor stability.

[0005] Moreover, the above-mentioned existing solution tampers with the specific information of the original APP, making the new APP independent of the original APP, thus making it impossible for the user to directly upgrade the new APP

In practical applications, after the user upgrades the original APP, the third-party APP also needs to re-modify the specific information of the upgraded original APP to obtain the corresponding current new APP, and re-install the current new APP in the smart terminal; it can be seen that the existing solution There is a problem that the upgrade operation is complicated

[0006] In addition, existing solutions usually have restrictions on the number of multiple accounts. For example, most third-party apps only support simultaneous login of two accounts, which will not be able to meet the needs of simultaneous login of more than two accounts and affect user experience.
