An application program updating method provided by the embodiment of the present application is explained below with reference to a plurality of specific application examples. Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an application updating method according to an embodiment of the present application, where an execution subject of the application updating method is a terminal device, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

s101: and if the application program meets a preset first updating condition, downloading an updating configuration file of the application program from the server.

Wherein, the update configuration file records: an update record for a plurality of versions of an application up to a latest version, each version of the update record comprising: and updating the file information of the file by the program corresponding to each version.

For example, in an embodiment of the present application, the record content in the update configuration file may be, for example: the time stamp information of a plurality of version updating records of the current application program, and the data start address information and the updating configuration file stop address information which need to be updated when each version updating record is at each updating node. Arranging the version updating records according to the timestamp information of the version updating records in the updating configuration file, for example, the current configuration file comprises File12020.3.1501000; file12020.3.810001800; file22020.3.150200; file22020.3.8200-3000; indicating that the current update configuration File comprises a version update record with the timestamp information of 2020.3.15, wherein the starting address of the version update record is 0 address information of a File1 File, and the ending address of the version update record is 1000 address information of a File1 File; the current update configuration File also comprises a version update record with the timestamp information of 2020.3.8, the starting address of the version update record is 1000 address information of a File1 File, and the ending address of the version update record is 1800 address information of a File1 File; the current update configuration File also comprises a version update record with the timestamp information of 2020.3.15, the starting address of the version update record is 0 address information of a File2 File, and the ending address of the version update record is 200 address information of a File2 File; the current update configuration File also comprises a version update record with the timestamp information of 2020.3.8, the starting address of the version update record is 200 address information of a File2 File, and the ending address of the version update record is 3000 address information of a File2 File; therefore, the updating records in the updating configuration file are ensured to be the updating records arranged according to the time stamp sequence.

For example, in another embodiment of the present application, the record content in the update configuration file may be, for example: the file information of the multiple version update record of the current application program may be recorded, for example, through a directory structure, wherein each version update record has its own file name.

In another embodiment of the present application, version information corresponding to a plurality of version update records of the current application program, and data start address information and update configuration file stop address information that each version update record needs to be updated at each update node. Arranging the version updating records in the updating configuration file according to the version information of the version updating records, for example, the current configuration file comprises file 16.3.101000; file16.2.110001800; file 25.3.10200; indicating that the current update configuration File comprises a version update record with version information of 6.3.1, wherein the starting address of the version update record is 0 address information of a File1 File, and the ending address of the version update record is 1000 address information of a File1 File; the current update configuration File also comprises a version update record with version information of 6.2.1, wherein the starting address of the version update record is 1000 address information of a File1 File, and the ending address of the version update record is 1800 address information of a File1 File; the current update configuration File also comprises a version update record with version information of 5.3.1, wherein the starting address of the version update record is 0 address information of a File2 File, and the ending address of the version update record is 200 address information of a File2 File; because the version information is arranged in sequence, the sequencing according to the version information can also ensure that the sequencing is carried out according to the updating sequence.

It should be understood that the foregoing embodiment is only a schematic illustration, and the ordering rule of each update record may be flexibly adjusted according to the user requirement, and only the update records in the update configuration file need to be arranged according to a certain rule sequence, and the arranged sequence is the same as the update sequence, and the disclosure is not limited to the foregoing embodiment.

In an embodiment of the application, the configuration file may be generated, for example, in such a manner that after the development of the development terminal is completed, a packaging tool is used to package the current development version update file, the packaged file is the configuration file, and the packaged configuration file is sent to the server, where the packaging tool may sort the multiple versions of the program update file according to the update information of the multiple versions; sequentially storing the sequenced program update files of the plurality of versions; and updating the file information of the file according to the sequenced programs of the plurality of versions to generate a configuration file.
