Abstract:

Embodiments are provided that perform cross-application installation of a particular target application program. Such embodiments facilitate cross-application installation of the particular target application program through a computer-executable tool capable of incorporation into any number of distinct application programs, including third-party application programs. Some example embodiments incorporate a computer-executable tool within a first application program installed on a mobile device, execute the first application program on the mobile device and, upon such execution, execute the computer-executable tool to detect system data from the mobile device, determine based at least in part on the system data that an application program set installed to the mobile device does not include a target application program, and in response to the determination use the computer-executable tool to cause rendering of a representation of the target application program within a first user interface associated with the first application program.
