Description

Application program update package generation method and device and application program update method and device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to software technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for generating an application update package and updating an application.

Background

With the rapid development of various application programs, the interface design which is unchanged cannot meet the user requirements, and therefore, developers are required to optimize or change the interface design of the application programs according to actual needs. Generally, the updating of the interface design can be realized by changing the configuration parameters of the interface. In practical applications, the source file of the application program generally includes default configuration parameters of the interface for configuring and loading each interface of the application program.

In the prior art, since an application usually has a plurality of interfaces, default configuration parameters corresponding to different interfaces are directly located at different positions in an application source file. When different interfaces of the application program are updated, developers need to manually modify default configuration parameters of each interface in the source file of the application program one by one. Since the developer does not know the position of the default configuration parameter to be updated in the application program source file, the default configuration parameter of each position in the application program source file needs to be checked one by one, and then whether the default configuration parameter is the default configuration parameter to be updated is determined, if the default configuration parameter needs to be updated, the default configuration parameter is updated, and then the default configuration parameter of the next position continues to be checked until the default configuration parameter of each position in the application program source file is checked, the updated source file is compressed to obtain an update package, so that the intelligent terminal updates the interface of the application program according to the update package.

Therefore, in the prior art, developers are required to manually check the default configuration parameters at each position in the application source file one by one, and the updating efficiency is low. Moreover, the default configuration parameters of the interface are likely to be wrong due to misoperation of developers, which may cause update failure and even crash of the application program.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a diagram of a possible system architecture provided by the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the system architecture provided by the present embodiment includes a server 11 and a user device 12. The user device 12 may be, for example, a cell phone, tablet, computer, or the like. The server 11 is configured to generate and store an update package of an application, at least one application is installed in the user equipment 12, and the user equipment 12 obtains the update package of the corresponding application from the server 11 and updates the application.

When the application needs to be updated, the server 11 needs to generate and store an update package of the application for the application in the user equipment 12 to call when the application is updated. The update package generated by the server 11 includes a source file and/or a default configuration parameter file, where the default configuration parameter file includes a set of several default configuration parameters, and the source file is at least used to indicate a location of each default configuration parameter required by the application program during running in the default configuration parameter file.

The following describes in detail the method and apparatus for generating an application update package and updating an application according to the present invention.

The method for generating the application update package will be described with reference to the embodiment shown in fig. 2. The execution subject in fig. 2 described below may be, for example, the server 11 in fig. 1 described above.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for generating an application update package, which is applied to a server, as shown in fig. 2, the method of this embodiment may include:

s101, acquiring a source file of an application program to be updated and a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file; the default configuration parameter file comprises a plurality of default configuration parameter sets, and the source file is at least used for indicating the position of each default configuration parameter required by the running of the application program to be updated in the default configuration parameter file;

step S102, updating the source file and/or the default configuration parameter file according to the default configuration parameters which are required to be updated when the current version of the application program to be updated is upgraded to the latest version, and obtaining the updated source file and/or the updated default configuration parameter file.

Step S103, generating an updating package for updating the application program to be updated to the latest version according to the updated source file and/or the updated default configuration parameter file.

Specifically, when an update package of the application program to be updated is generated, the server acquires a source file of the application program to be updated and a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file. The storage format of the default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated is a binary data storage format, and may be, for example, a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data storage format or an Extensible Markup Language (XML) data storage format.

Different from the source file in the prior art, the source file in this embodiment is at least used to indicate the positions of the default configuration parameters required by the running of the application to be updated in the default configuration parameter file, that is, the source file in this embodiment does not include the default configuration parameters of the application to be updated, and includes indication information indicating the positions of the default configuration parameters in the default configuration parameter file, that is, the default configuration parameters in the source file in the prior art are replaced with the indication information indicating the positions of the default configuration parameters in the default configuration parameter file. Therefore, the application program to be updated not only comprises the source file, but also comprises a default configuration parameter file, and the default configuration parameter file comprises a plurality of sets of default configuration parameters. Further, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the source files and default configuration parameter files for each version of the application are in a one-to-one correspondence.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating default configuration parameter files and source file acquisition provided by the present invention. Referring to fig. 3, the obtaining method may be inputting a version number of the application program to be updated on the user interface 31 corresponding to the server, and the server queries a source file and a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the application program to be updated according to the received version number.

After the server acquires the source file of the application program to be updated and the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file, the source file and/or the default configuration parameter file can be updated according to the default configuration parameters to be updated when the application program to be updated is upgraded from the current version to the latest version, so that the updated source file and/or the updated default configuration parameter file are acquired.

Specifically, the default configuration parameter is updated in any one or a combination of the following ways: (1) modification of default configuration parameters; (2) deleting default configuration parameters; (3) and increasing the default configuration parameters.

For the modification of the default configuration parameters, because the positions of the default configuration parameters in the default configuration parameter file are not changed, the indication information in the source file for indicating the positions of the default configuration parameters in the default configuration parameter file does not need to be changed, only the default configuration parameters in the default configuration parameter file need to be modified, and the default configuration parameter file is updated.

Deleting indication information in the source file indicating the position of the default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file aiming at deletion of the default configuration parameter, and updating the source file; in addition, for the default configuration parameter file, the default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file may be deleted, the default configuration parameter file is updated, or the default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file may not be deleted.

Adding new default configuration parameters in the default configuration parameters aiming at the increase of the default configuration parameters to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file; in addition, for the source file, the indication information for indicating the position of the newly added default configuration parameter in the updated default configuration parameter file is added in the source file, and the source file is updated.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, in an application scenario where the application to be updated has and only needs to update the default configuration parameters, whether the source file of the application to be updated and the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file are updated is determined by the manner of updating the default configuration parameters. In an application scenario where an application to be updated has default configuration parameters to be updated and also has other non-default configuration parameters to be updated, a source file of the application to be updated is updated, whether a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file is updated is determined by a default configuration parameter updating method, wherein a method in the prior art can be adopted for updating the non-default configuration parameters, and a method in an application scenario where the application to be updated has the default configuration parameters and only the default configuration parameters need to be updated is adopted for updating the default configuration parameters. In an application scene where the application program to be updated does not have the default configuration parameters to be updated and only has other non-default configuration parameters to be updated, the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated is not updated, and the source file of the application program to be updated is updated.

In addition, if the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated is updated, the storage format of the default configuration parameters in the updated default configuration parameter file may also be a binary data storage format, for example, a JSON data storage format, or an XML data storage format.

And after the source file and/or the default configuration parameter file of the application program to be updated are updated, the server is used for upgrading the application program to be updated to the update package of the latest version according to the updated source file and/or the updated default configuration parameter file. For example, if the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated is updated and the source file of the application program to be updated is not updated, an update package is generated according to the updated default configuration parameter file; if the source file of the application program to be updated and the default configuration parameter file are updated, generating an update package according to the updated default configuration parameter file and the updated source file; and if the source file of the application program to be updated is updated and the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated is not updated, generating an update package according to the updated source file.

In this embodiment, the source file of the application program to be updated does not directly include the default configuration parameters, but includes indication information, where the indication information is used to indicate the location of the default configuration parameters required by the application program during running in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file. Therefore, when the application program needs to update the default configuration parameters, the default configuration parameters at each position in the source file are not needed to be checked one by one to determine whether the default configuration parameters are the default configuration parameters to be updated, if so, the default configuration parameters are updated in the source file, but the default configuration parameter file is directly updated according to the default configuration parameters to be updated, only when the default configuration parameters are added and/or deleted, the source file needs to be added with the indication information corresponding to the default configuration parameters and/or deleted, the update package is generated efficiently, errors are not prone to occur in the obtained update package, and the follow-up application program can be successfully updated.

The method for generating the application update package of the embodiment includes: acquiring a source file of an application program to be updated and a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file; the default configuration parameter file comprises a plurality of default configuration parameter sets, and the source file is at least used for indicating the position of each default configuration parameter required by the running of the application program to be updated in the default configuration parameter file; updating the source file and/or the default configuration parameter file according to the default configuration parameters to be updated when the current version of the application program to be updated is upgraded to the latest version, so as to obtain an updated source file and/or an updated default configuration parameter file; and generating an updating package for updating the application program to be updated to the latest version according to the updated source file and/or the updated default configuration parameter file. The method for generating the application program update package has high efficiency of generating the update package, and the obtained update package is not easy to make mistakes, thereby ensuring that the subsequent application program can be successfully updated.

The following describes in detail the application update package generation method corresponding to the update mode with different default configuration parameters in the previous embodiment, with specific embodiments.

First, a method for generating an application update package in which the default configuration parameter update mode is modified will be described.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of a method for generating an application update package, which is applied to a server, and as shown in fig. 4, the method of this embodiment may include:

step S201, obtaining a source file of an application program to be updated and a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file; the default configuration parameter file comprises a plurality of default configuration parameter sets, and the source file is at least used for indicating the position of each default configuration parameter required by the running of the application program to be updated in the default configuration parameter file;

step S202, if the default configuration parameters to be modified exist in the application program to be updated, modifying the default configuration parameters to be modified in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file;

step S203, generating an update package for updating the application program to be updated to the latest version according to the updated default configuration parameter file.

Specifically, the application scenario of the present embodiment is that the application to be updated has and only has the default configuration parameters to be updated.

Step S201 is the same as step S101 in the previous embodiment, and details of this embodiment are not repeated.

For step S202, after acquiring a source file of an application program to be updated and a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file, if a default configuration parameter to be modified exists in the application program to be updated, modifying the default configuration parameter to be modified in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, and acquiring an updated default configuration parameter file; the method specifically comprises the following steps: and the server receives modification information input by the user and obtains an updated default configuration parameter file according to the modification information.

Step S202 is described below with reference to specific examples.

The default configuration parameter file may include a plurality of identifiers of default configuration parameters and default configuration parameters corresponding to the identifiers, for example, the default configuration parameter file in the "pan treasure" application may include: first page: interface address 1, my naobao: interface address 2, and the like, wherein "home page", "my panning" is an identifier of the default configuration parameter, and "interface address 1" and "interface address 2" are default configuration parameters.

Corresponding to the form of the default configuration parameter file, when the default configuration parameters are modified, the server receives modification information input by a user, wherein the modification information comprises the corresponding default configuration parameters after the default configuration parameters to be modified are modified; and then the server modifies the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated according to the modification information to obtain the updated default configuration parameter file.

For example, the interface address 1 of the home page of the application program to be updated needs to be changed into the interface address 3, the user deletes the interface address 1 and the input interface address 3 at the position corresponding to the home page identifier in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated through the user input interface of the server, the server receives the instruction for deleting the interface address 1 and the interface address 3, the interface address 1 of the home page is updated to the interface address 3, and the updated default configuration parameter file is obtained. Wherein, the instruction for deleting the interface address 1 and the input interface address 3 are modification information.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that if the default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated is in a binary data storage format, the server needs to analyze the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated in a data analysis manner corresponding to the binary data storage format to obtain an analyzed default configuration parameter file, modify the analyzed default configuration parameter file to obtain an updated analyzed default configuration parameter file, and store the updated analyzed default configuration parameter file in the binary data storage format to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file.

For step S203, after obtaining the updated default configuration parameter file, the server generates an update package for updating the application program to be updated to the latest version according to the updated default configuration parameter file.

In this embodiment, the default configuration parameter file to be modified in the default configuration parameter file is modified to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file, and the server generates an update package according to the updated default configuration parameter file without checking the default configuration parameters at each position in the source file one by one to determine whether the default configuration parameters are the default configuration parameters to be modified. The method for generating the application program update package has high efficiency of generating the update package, and the obtained update package is not easy to make mistakes, thereby ensuring that the subsequent application program can be successfully updated.

Next, a method for generating an application update package corresponding to the new default configuration parameter update mode will be described.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a third embodiment of a method for generating an application update package, which is applied to a server, and as shown in fig. 5, the method of this embodiment may include:

s301, acquiring a source file of the application program to be updated and a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file; the default configuration parameter file comprises a plurality of default configuration parameter sets, and the source file is at least used for indicating the position of each default configuration parameter required by the running of the application program to be updated in the default configuration parameter file;

step S302, if a default configuration parameter needs to be newly added to the application program to be updated, adding the default configuration parameter to a default configuration parameter file corresponding to a source file of the application program to be updated to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file; adding indication information for indicating the positions of the newly added default configuration parameters in the updated default configuration parameter file in a source file of the application program to be updated to obtain an updated source file;

step S303, generating an update package for updating the application program to be updated to the latest version according to the updated default configuration parameter file and the updated source file.

Step S301 is the same as step S101 in the above embodiment, and the description of this embodiment is omitted.

For step S302, after acquiring the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, if a new default configuration parameter needs to be added to the application program to be updated, adding the default configuration parameter to the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, and acquiring an updated default configuration parameter file; adding indication information for indicating the positions of the newly added default configuration parameters in the updated default configuration parameter file in a source file of the application program to be updated to obtain an updated source file; the method specifically comprises the following steps: receiving first newly added information input by a user, obtaining an updated default configuration parameter file according to the first newly added information, receiving second newly added information input by the user, and obtaining an updated source file according to the second newly added information.

Step S302 is described below with reference to specific examples.

When the default configuration parameters are newly added, the server receives first newly added information input by a user, wherein the first newly added information comprises an identifier of the newly added default configuration parameters and the default configuration parameters corresponding to the identifier; and then, the server adds the first newly added information in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated according to the first newly added information to obtain the updated default configuration parameter file.

For example, a default configuration parameter a needs to be added to the application program to be updated, where the default configuration parameter a is identified as a1, a user inputs an identifier a1 and a default configuration parameter a of the default configuration parameter a at a corresponding position of a default configuration parameter file corresponding to a source file of the application program to be updated through a user input interface of the server, and after receiving the identifier a1 and the default configuration parameter a of the default configuration parameter a, the server adds an identifier a1 and a default configuration parameter a of the configuration parameter a at a corresponding position of the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, so as to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file.

Correspondingly, the server adds indication information indicating the position of the newly added default configuration parameter in the updated default configuration parameter file at the corresponding position in the source file of the application program to be updated according to the position of the newly added default configuration parameter in the updated default configuration parameter file, so as to obtain an updated source file; the method specifically comprises the following steps: the server receives second newly-added information input by a user, the second newly-added information comprises indication information indicating the position of the newly-added default configuration parameter in the updated default configuration parameter file, and the server obtains an updated source file according to the second newly-added information.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that if the default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated is in a binary data storage format, the server needs to parse the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated in a data parsing manner corresponding to the binary data storage format to obtain an parsed default configuration parameter file, then newly add the default configuration parameter to the parsed default configuration parameter file to obtain an updated parsed default configuration parameter file, and then perform data storage on the updated parsed default configuration parameter file in the binary data storage format to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file.

For step S303, after obtaining the updated default configuration parameter file and the updated source file, the server generates an update package for updating the application program to be updated to the latest version according to the updated default configuration parameter file and the updated source file.

In this embodiment, an updated default configuration parameter file is obtained by adding a default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file, an updated source file is obtained by adding indication information indicating a position of the added default configuration parameter in the updated default configuration parameter file at a corresponding position in the source file, and the server can generate an update package according to the updated default configuration parameter file and the source file.

Next, a method of generating an application update package in which the default configuration parameter update method is to delete the corresponding application will be described.

There are two possible implementation manners for the method for generating the application update package in which the default configuration parameter update manner is to delete the corresponding application update package, and one of the possible implementation manners is first described below.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a fourth embodiment of a method for generating an application update package, which is applied to a server, as shown in fig. 6, the method in this embodiment may include:

s401, acquiring a source file of an application program to be updated and a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file; the default configuration parameter file comprises a plurality of default configuration parameter sets, and the source file is at least used for indicating the position of each default configuration parameter required by the running of the application program to be updated in the default configuration parameter file;

step S402, if the default configuration parameters to be deleted exist in the application program to be updated, deleting the default configuration parameters to be deleted from the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file, and deleting indication information for indicating the position of the default configuration parameters to be deleted in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated from the source file of the application program to obtain an updated source file;

step S403, according to the updated source file and the updated default configuration parameter file, generating an update package for updating the application program to be updated to the latest version.

Step S401 is the same as step S101 in the above embodiment, and this embodiment is not described again.

For step S402, after acquiring the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, if the default configuration parameter to be deleted exists in the application program to be updated, deleting the default configuration parameter to be deleted in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file, deleting, in the source file of the application program, the indication information for indicating the position of the default configuration parameter to be deleted in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, to obtain an updated source file; the method specifically comprises the following steps: receiving a first deleting instruction input by a user, obtaining an updated default configuration parameter file according to the first deleting instruction, receiving a second deleting instruction input by the user, and obtaining an updated source file according to the second deleting instruction.

Step S402 will be described below with reference to specific examples.

When deleting the default configuration parameters, the server receives a first deletion instruction input by a user, wherein the first deletion instruction is used for indicating an identifier of the default configuration parameters to be deleted and the default configuration parameters corresponding to the identifier; and then the server deletes the identifier of the default configuration parameter to be deleted and the default configuration parameter to be deleted in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated according to the first deletion instruction to obtain the updated default configuration parameter file.

For example, the application program to be updated needs to delete the default configuration parameter b, which is identified as b1, the user inputs an instruction for deleting the identifier b1 and the default configuration parameter b of the default configuration parameter b at a corresponding position of the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated through a user input interface of the server, and the server deletes the identifier b1 and the default configuration parameter b of the default configuration parameter b according to the instruction for deleting the identifier b1 and the default configuration parameter b of the default configuration parameter b, which is input by the user, so as to obtain the updated default configuration parameter file.

Correspondingly, the server deletes the indication information indicating the position of the default configuration parameter to be deleted in the source file of the application program to be updated in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, so as to obtain the updated source file; the method specifically comprises the following steps: the server receives a second deleting instruction input by a user, wherein the second deleting instruction is used for indicating and deleting indication information of the position of the default configuration parameter to be deleted in the source file of the application program to be updated in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated, and the server deletes the indication information of the position of the default configuration parameter to be deleted in the source file of the application program to be updated in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated according to the second deleting instruction to obtain the updated source file.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that if the default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated is in a binary data storage format, the server needs to parse the default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated in a data parsing manner corresponding to the binary data storage format to obtain an parsed default configuration parameter file, delete the default configuration parameter from the parsed default configuration parameter file to obtain an updated parsed default configuration parameter file, and store the data of the updated parsed default configuration parameter file in the binary data storage format to obtain an updated default configuration parameter file.

For step S403, after obtaining the updated default configuration parameter file and the updated source file, the server generates an update package for updating the application program to be updated to the latest version according to the updated default configuration parameter file and the updated source file.

In this embodiment, the updated default configuration parameter file is obtained by deleting the default configuration parameter in the default configuration parameter file, the updated source file is obtained by deleting the indication information indicating the position of the default configuration parameter to be deleted in the default configuration parameter file in the source file, and the server may generate the update package according to the updated default configuration parameter file and the source file.

Another possible implementation manner that the default configuration parameter updating manner is a method for deleting the corresponding application update package generation method is described below.

step S502, if the default configuration parameters to be deleted exist in the application program to be updated, deleting indication information for indicating the positions of the default configuration parameters to be deleted in a default configuration parameter file corresponding to the source file of the application program to be updated in the source file of the application program to obtain an updated source file;

step S503, according to the updated source file, generating an update package for upgrading the application program to be updated to the latest version.
