Abstract

Method, apparatus and computer program product for software application update management. For example, the apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory including program code. The at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, receive a qualified lifecycle command associated with a software application; in response to receiving the qualified lifecycle command, obtain an update queue flag value for the software application; determine if the update queue flag value indicates an update-queued status or an update check status; and in response to determining that the update queue flag value indicates the update check status, determine if the software application has access to a latest version of a data resource associated with the software application and adjust the first update queue flag value based on if the software application has access to the latest version.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for software application update management for a first software application executing on a computing device with an operating system software application and an update engine, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory comprising program code, wherein the at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

receive, by the update engine and from the operating system software application, a first qualified lifecycle command associated with the first software application;
in response to receiving the first qualified lifecycle command from the operating system software application, obtain, by the update engine, a first update queue flag value associated with the first software application;
determine, by the update engine, if the first update queue flag value indicates an update-queued status for the first software application or an update check status for the first software application;
and
in response to determining that the first update queue flag value indicates the update check status for the first software application, perform, by the update engine, a first set of update engine operations comprising:
determining if the first software application has access to a first latest version of a first data resource associated with the first software application;
and
adjusting the first update queue flag value based on if the first software application has access to the first latest version, wherein adjusting the first update queue flag value comprises:
in response to determining that the first software application does not have access to the first latest version, modifying the first update queue flag value to indicate the update-queued status for the first software application, and
in response to determining that the first software application has access to the first latest version, maintaining the first update queue flag value to indicate the update check status for the first software application.

7 more elements

A non-transitory computer storage medium for software application update management for a first software application executing on a computing device with an operating system software application and an update engine, the non-transitory computer storage medium comprising instructions configured to cause one or more processors to at least:

receive, by the update engine and from the operating system software application, a first qualified lifecycle command associated with the first software application;
in response to receiving the first qualified lifecycle command from the operating system software application, obtain, by the update engine, a first update queue flag value associated with the first software application;
determine, by the update engine, if the first update queue flag value indicates an update-queued status for the first software application or an update check status for the first software application;
and
in response to determining that the first update queue flag value indicates the update check status for the first software application, performing, by the update engine, a first set of update engine operations comprising:
determining if the first software application has access to a first latest version of a first data resource associated with the first software application;
and
adjusting the first update queue flag value based on if the first software application has access to the first latest version, wherein adjusting the first update queue flag value comprises:
in response to determining that the first software application does not have access to the first latest version, modifying the first update queue flag value to indicate the update-queued status for the first software application, and
in response to determining that the first software application has access to the first latest version, maintaining the first update queue flag value to indicate the update check status for the first software application.
