[0020] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0021] In the technical solution of the present disclosure, the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision and disclosure of user personal information involved are in compliance with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and do not violate public order and good morals.

[0022] Figure 1An exemplary system architecture 100 is shown to which embodiments of the methods, apparatuses, electronic devices, and computer-readable storage media of the present disclosure may be applied.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture 100 may include servers 101 , 102 , and 103 , and may also include a terminal device 104 .

[0024] Server 101 and server 103 belong to the same computer network, and server 102 and server 103 belong to the same computer network.

[0025] The terminal device 104 and the server 103 are connected via a network. The network is used to provide a medium for a communication link between the terminal device 104 and the server 103. The network may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links or optical fiber cables, etc.

[0026] Various applications for realizing information communication between the servers 101, 102, 103 and the terminal device 104 may be installed, such as instant messaging applications, etc. The servers 101, 102, 103 may be cloud servers.

[0027] Servers 101, 102, 103 and terminal device 104 can be hardware or software. When terminal device 104 is hardware, it can be various electronic devices with display screens, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, etc.; when terminal device 104 is software, it can be installed in the electronic devices listed above, which can be implemented as multiple software or software modules, or as a single software or software module, and no specific limitation is made here. When servers 101, 102, 103 are hardware, they can be implemented as a distributed server cluster composed of multiple servers, or as a single server; when servers 101, 102, 103 are software, they can be implemented as multiple software or software modules, or as a single software or software module, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0028] The file directory where the server 101 has completed the application installation and resource configuration, that is, the server 101 has installed the application, can achieve the following effects: from the file directory where the application installation and resource configuration have been completed, obtain the application installation package, the application resource file and the first installation directory of the application resource file; based on the first installation directory of the application resource file, the first storage directory of the pre-configured application installation package and the second storage directory of the application resource file, generate the application configuration file; based on the application installation package, the application resource file and the application configuration file, generate the application file package to be installed, wherein the application installation package is stored in the first storage directory of the application file package, and the application resource file is stored in the second storage directory of the application file package. Server 101 can send the application file package to be installed to server 103, and server 103 sends it to other servers, such as server 102; or, server 101 can directly send the application file package to be installed to server 102 that wants to install the application. Server 101 can be called a cloud phone (such as the first cloud phone), and server 101 can also be connected to a terminal device.

[0029] The server 102 can provide various services, which can achieve the following effects: decompress the application file package to be installed to obtain the application configuration file; determine the first storage directory of the application installation package, the second storage directory of the application resource file, and the first installation directory of the application resource file based on the application configuration file; obtain the application installation package from the first storage directory of the decompressed application file package, and load the application installation package to generate the application installation directory; obtain the application resource file from the second storage directory of the decompressed application file package, and deploy the application resource file to the first installation directory under the application installation directory. The server 102 can be called a cloud phone (such as a first cloud phone).

[0030] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks and servers in the embodiment is only for illustration. Any number of terminal devices, networks and servers may be provided according to implementation requirements.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart of a method for generating an application file package provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to the server 101, wherein the process 200 includes the following steps:

[0032] Step 201: Obtain an application installation package, an application resource file, and a first installation directory of the application resource file from a file directory where application installation and resource configuration have been completed.

[0033] Exemplarily, completed application installation and resource configuration may mean that the device has installed the application installation package and loaded resources, the application is fully installed, and the user can directly use the application. For example, if the application is a game application, the user can start the game directly after opening the game application.

[0034] Exemplarily, an application installation package usually includes the main file of the application, that is, the executable file of the application, which is used to install the application. The file extension of the application installation package may be .apk, etc. Application resource files refer to other files other than the main application file. These files usually include additional content of the application. For example, in the case of game applications, additional content may include character skins, maps, music, sound effects, animations, etc. The first installation directory of the application resource files may be the directory where the application resource files are deployed under the file directory where the application installation and resource configuration have been completed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the execution subject (e.g., server 101) can use the root user (root) authority to execute a script (e.g., a script program written in shell) to collect files required to complete the application installation, such as application installation packages and application resource files, from a specified directory (a file directory that has completed application installation and resource configuration). Optionally, the execution subject can obtain the application installation package, application resource files, and the first installation directory of the application resource files based on a packaging rule, and the packaging rule is used to record the packaged files.

[0036] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned step 201 obtains the application installation package, application resource files, and the first installation directory of the application resource files from the file directory where the application installation and resource configuration have been completed, and may include: displaying the first page; in response to obtaining the operation of generating the application configuration file based on the confirmation of the first page, obtaining the application installation package, application resource files, and the first installation directory of the application resource files from the file directory where the application installation and resource configuration have been completed.

[0037] In this embodiment, the execution subject detects the installed applications and displays the installed application list and the packaged control on the first page. The operation of generating the application configuration file based on the confirmation of the first page can be an operation of clicking the packaged control corresponding to the application. The execution subject obtains the application installation package, the application resource file, and the first installation directory of the application resource file in response to receiving the operation of confirming the generation of the application configuration file. In this way, based on the operation of confirming the generation of the application configuration file, the application installation package, the application resource file, and the first installation directory of the application resource file can be flexibly obtained.

[0038] Step 202: Generate an application configuration file based on the first installation directory of the application resource file, the first storage directory of the preconfigured application installation package, and the second storage directory of the application resource file.

[0039] The first storage directory of the application installation package and the second storage directory of the application resource file may be preconfigured. The generated application configuration file records the first installation directory of the application resource file, the first storage directory of the application installation package and the second storage directory of the application resource file.

[0040] For example, the file extension of the application configuration file may be .json, etc.

[0041] In some embodiments, the application resource files may include: external storage resource files and / or private directory resource files. The second storage directory of the application resource files includes: a third storage directory of the external storage resource files and / or a fourth storage directory of the private directory resource files. The first installation directory of the application resource files includes: a second installation directory of the external storage resource files and / or a third installation directory of the private directory resource files.

[0042] Optionally, the external storage resource file may be a file stored in an external storage, including a public directory and a private directory. The private directory resource file may refer to data and files stored in an internal storage, which are private to the application.

[0043] Optionally, the application resource file may also include a large file extension package (or called an application extension file), such as a game general data package (Opaque Binary Blob, OBB) file, the second storage directory of the application resource file may include the storage directory of the large file extension package, and the first installation directory of the application resource file may include the installation directory of the large file extension package. The method of storing the large file extension package during packaging is similar to the packaging steps of the external storage resource file or the private directory resource file, and the method of installing the large file extension package during installation is similar to the installation steps of the external storage resource file or the private directory resource file, which will not be repeated.

[0044] Optionally, the generated application configuration file may include one or more of the following: a second installation directory for external storage resource files, a third installation directory for private directory resource files, a third storage directory for external storage resource files, a fourth storage directory for private directory resource files, and a second storage directory for application resource files.

[0045] Exemplarily, the second installation directory of the external storage resource file can be the directory where the external storage resource file is deployed under the file directory where the application installation and resource configuration have been completed. The third installation directory of the private directory resource file can be the directory where the private directory resource file is deployed under the file directory where the application installation and resource configuration have been completed. For example, the second installation directory of the external storage resource file is, for example, the / sdcard / Android / data / application name / files directory, and the third installation directory of the private directory resource file is, for example, the / data / data / application name / files directory. In this way, the installation directories of different resource files can be obtained in different directories of the file directory where the application installation and resource configuration have been completed.

[0046] In some embodiments, the above step 202 generates an application configuration file based on the first installation directory of the application resource files, the first storage directory of the preconfigured application installation package, and the second storage directory of the application resource files, and may include: generating an application configuration file based on the first installation directory of the application resource files, the fourth installation directory of the version identification file of the application resource files, the first storage directory of the preconfigured application installation package, the second storage directory of the application resource files, and the fifth storage directory of the version identification file.

[0047] For example, the first storage directory for the application installation package, the second storage directory for the application resource files, and the fifth storage directory for the version identification file may be preconfigured.

[0048] The fourth installation directory of the version identification file of the application resource file may be a directory where the version identification file is deployed under the file directory where the application installation and resource configuration have been completed. For example, the version identification file may include a service pack (SP).

[0049] In this way, the installation directory of the application installation package, the installation directory of each resource file, the pre-configured storage directory of the application installation package, and the pre-configured storage directory of each resource file are recorded in the application configuration file, so that the device that expects to install the application can complete the application installation based on the application configuration file, which can improve the efficiency of application installation.

[0050] Step 203: Generate an application file package to be installed based on the application installation package, the application resource file and the application configuration file.

[0051] Exemplarily, the application installation package is stored in the first storage directory of the application file package, and the application resource files are stored in the second storage directory of the application file package. The above-mentioned execution subject may store the application installation package in the first storage directory of the application file package and store the application resource files in the second storage directory of the application file package based on the first storage directory corresponding to the application installation package and the second storage directory corresponding to the application resource files in the application configuration file.

[0052] In some embodiments, the external storage resource files may be stored in a third storage directory of the application file package, and the private directory resource files may be stored in a fourth storage directory of the application file package.

[0053] The above-mentioned execution entity can store the external storage resource files in the third storage directory of the application file package and the private directory resource files in the fourth storage directory of the application file package based on the third storage directory corresponding to the external storage resource files in the application configuration file and the fourth storage directory corresponding to the private directory resource files, thereby packaging each resource file together with the application installation package into the application file package to be installed.

[0054] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution entity can package and compress the application installation package, application resource files and application configuration files to generate an application file package to be installed. The application configuration file is used to instruct the device that downloads the application file package to be installed to install the application. The application configuration file includes a first installation directory for the application resource files, a first storage directory for the application installation package and a second storage directory for the application resource files. The device that downloads the application file package to be installed can obtain the application installation package from the first storage directory and the application resource files from the second storage directory based on the instructions of the application configuration file, install the application installation package, deploy the application resource files to the first installation directory, and complete the installation of the application.

[0055] Optionally, the file extension of the application file package to be installed may be .rxapk or the like.

[0056] The method for generating an application file package provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains an application installation package, an application resource file, and a first installation directory where the application resource file is installed in the file directory from a file directory where application installation and resource configuration have been completed, generates an application configuration file for recording the first installation directory of the application resource file, the first storage directory of the application installation package, and the second storage directory of the application resource file, and packages the application installation package, the application resource file, and the application configuration file to generate an application file package to be installed. In this way, a device that wants to install the application can obtain the application installation package and the application resource file by obtaining the application file package to be installed, which can improve the efficiency of downloading the application installation file, and install and configure the application installation package and the application resource file based on the application configuration file, which can improve the efficiency of application installation and improve the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may further include: sending the application file package to a server belonging to the same computer network.

[0058] For example, for the above-mentioned execution subject, the computer network to which the above-mentioned execution subject belongs can be called an intranet, and the network outside the computer network to which the above-mentioned execution subject belongs can be called an extranet.

[0059] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution entity can send the application file package to be installed to the server belonging to the same computer network. The device that wants to install the application and belongs to the same computer network as the server can obtain the application file package from the server, thereby downloading the application installation package and application resource files through the intranet. There is no need to download the application resource files from the external network, which can reduce the pressure on the external network bandwidth and save bandwidth traffic costs, thereby improving the competitiveness of application products.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The flowchart of a method for installing an application file package provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to the server 102, wherein the process 300 includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 301: decompress the application file package to be installed to obtain the application configuration file.

[0062] For the specific implementation of application installation packages and application configuration files, please refer to the above Figure 2 The corresponding explanation in the method shown will not be repeated here.

[0063] In some embodiments, the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes: obtaining an application file package from a server belonging to the same computer network.

[0064] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution entity can obtain the application file package through the computer network to which it belongs, and can obtain the application resource file through the intranet, realize fast download and transfer of the application, and realize installation and play. It can avoid the need to download the resource file after opening the application after the installation is completed, resulting in delay in entering the game (such as game applications).

[0065] Step 302: Based on the application configuration file, determine a first storage directory for the application installation package, a second storage directory for the application resource files, and a first installation directory for the application resource files.

[0066] Exemplarily, the first storage directory of the application installation package in the application configuration file may indicate that the application installation package is stored in the first storage directory of the application file package. The second storage directory of the application resource files in the application configuration file may indicate that the application resource files are stored in the second storage directory of the application file package. The first installation directory of the application resource files in the application configuration file may indicate that the application resource files are configured in the first installation directory during the application installation process.

[0067] In some embodiments, the application resource file may include: an external storage resource file and / or a private directory resource file. The second storage directory includes: a third storage directory for external storage resource files and / or a fourth storage directory for private directory resource files. The first installation directory includes: a second installation directory for external storage resource files and / or a third installation directory for private directory resource files. The specific implementation method can be referred to above Figure 2 The corresponding explanation in will not be repeated here.

[0068] The third storage directory of the external storage resource files may indicate that the external storage resource files are stored in the third storage directory of the application file package. The fourth storage directory of the private directory resource files may indicate that the private directory resource files are stored in the fourth storage directory of the application file package. The second installation directory of the external storage resource files may indicate that the external storage resource files are configured in the second installation directory during the application installation process. The third installation directory of the private directory resource files may indicate that the private directory resource files are configured in the third installation directory during the application installation process.

[0069] Step 303: Obtain an application installation package from the first storage directory of the decompressed application file package, load the application installation package, and generate an application installation directory.

[0070] In this embodiment, the execution subject obtains the application installation package from the first storage directory of the decompressed application file package based on the first storage directory of the application installation package in the application configuration file, loads the application installation package, and generates an application installation directory.

[0071] Step 304: Obtain application resource files from the second storage directory of the decompressed application file package, and deploy the application resource files to the first installation directory under the application installation directory.

[0072] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution entity can obtain the application resource files from the second storage directory of the decompressed application file package based on the second storage directory of the application resource files in the application configuration file, and deploy the application resource files to the first installation directory under the application installation directory based on the first installation directory of the application resource files in the application configuration file.

[0073] In some embodiments, the above step 304 obtains application resource files from the second storage directory of the decompressed application file package, and deploys the application resource files to the first installation directory under the application installation directory, which may include: obtaining external storage resource files from the third storage directory of the decompressed application file package, and deploying the external storage resource files to the second installation directory under the application installation directory; and / or, obtaining private directory resource files from the fourth storage directory of the decompressed application file package, and deploying the private directory resource files to the third installation directory under the application installation directory.

[0074] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution entity can deploy the external storage resource files under the sdcard directory (the third storage directory) obtained by decompressing the application file package to the / sdcard / Android / data / game package name / files directory (the second installation directory), and deploy the private directory resource files under the data directory (the fourth storage directory) obtained by decompressing the application file package to the / data / data / game package name / files directory (the third installation directory). In this way, the installation of external storage resource files and private directory resource files can be realized.

[0075] In some embodiments, the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure also includes: determining a fifth storage directory of a version identification file of an application resource file and a fourth installation directory of the version identification file based on an application configuration file; obtaining the version identification file from the fifth storage directory of the decompressed application file package, and deploying the version identification file to the fourth installation directory under the application installation directory.

[0076] For the specific implementation of the version identification file, please refer to the above Figure 2 The corresponding explanation in the method shown will not be repeated here.

[0077] Exemplarily, the fifth storage directory of the version identification file may indicate that the version identification file is stored in the fifth storage directory of the application file package. The fourth installation directory of the version identification file may indicate that the version identification file is configured in the fourth installation directory during the application installation process.

[0078] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution entity can append the version identification file under the shared_prefs directory (the fifth storage directory) obtained by decompressing the application file package to the / data / data / game package name / shared_prefs directory (the fourth installation directory), thereby realizing the installation of the version identification file and the private directory resource file.

[0079] The installation method of the application file package provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains the application installation package, the application resource file and the application configuration file from the application file to be installed, loads the application installation package to generate an application installation directory, and based on the first installation directory of the application resource file in the application configuration file, deploys the application resource file to the first installation directory under the application installation directory to complete the application installation, which can improve the application installation efficiency and improve the user experience.

[0080] In some embodiments, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: modifying the name of the application resource file deployed to the first installation directory based on the user group and user name to which the first application belongs. The first application is the application corresponding to the application file package. The security of the data can be protected.

[0081] In some embodiments, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: setting the operation permission of the application resource file deployed to the first installation directory from the root user permission to allow the first application to operate, and the first application is the application corresponding to the application file package. The access permission of the application resource file can be better managed to improve security.

[0082] Exemplarily, the user group and user name to which the application installation directory belongs can be obtained through a command, and a command (such as the chmod command) can be executed to change the user group and user name to which the application resource files deployed to the first installation directory belong to the user group and user name of the application installation directory (or the first application), and the operating permissions of the application resource files can be modified through a command (such as the chmod command) used to modify the access permissions of files or directories.

[0083] In some embodiments, the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes: calculating a hash value of the application file package, and saving the hash value to the application installation directory.

[0084] Exemplarily, a hash value (md5 value) of the application file package may be calculated and the hash value may be saved in the application installation directory. The hash value may be used as an update identifier for the next application update.

[0085] For ease of understanding, the following Figure 1 and Figure 4a-4d An application scenario in which the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented is provided.

[0086] Combination Figure 4a , assuming that the server 101 has completed the file directory of application installation and resource configuration, step 401a identifies the applications installed in the device, and can display the installed application list and packaged controls on the first page, such as Figure 4bAs shown. In response to obtaining an operation to package application b (such as an operation of clicking the packaging control corresponding to application b), server 101 starts to package application b. Specifically, step 402a: execute the script to collect application resource files. Step 403a: Based on the application installation package, application resource files and application configuration files, generate an application file package to be installed for application b. Server 101 can store the application file package of application b in a local directory (such as the / sdcard / Rxapk / directory).
