Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of user upgrade applications, and in particular to an on-demand upgrade method and system for hybrid mode applications. Background Art

[0002] Hybrid-mode apps are mobile apps that combine local native apps with Web technologies through the WebView component. In hybrid-mode apps, the main framework and some functions of the app are implemented by native code, while the page is implemented by loading a Web page through WebView. Mobile app upgrade refers to the process of updating and improving applications that have been released and installed on users' mobile devices. Upgrades can include the addition of new features, improvements to the user interface, performance optimization, security enhancements, and bug fixes. The purpose of the upgrade is to improve the overall performance of the app, enhance the user experience, and ensure that the app can adapt to new technical environments and user needs.

[0003] Existing mobile application upgrade technology solutions include hot update, gray release, forced upgrade, automatic upgrade or upgrade through application store and other different upgrade methods.

[0004] A mobile application contains many functions, and each upgrade usually involves only one or a few functions. When a mobile application is upgraded according to the existing technical solution, all users will receive an application upgrade notification, even if the user does not use the upgraded function of the application, which disturbs the user. Although gray release can specify a certain group of people, it still cannot accurately meet the user's upgrade needs, and requires the server to maintain the corresponding group information, increasing maintenance costs. Summary of the invention
