Disparate sourcing of tree data structures for searching and suggesting application services

A computing device, comprising:

• local memory;
• one or more processors operable to:
• determine that a user has launched, or is expected to launch, an application search interface;
• determine whether a native data structure for a client application is cached in the local memory and whether the native data structure exhibits a particular status,
• wherein the native data structure is generated by an assistant application of the computing device and facilitates searching of services available via the client application;
• in response to determining that the native data structure is cached in the local memory of the computing device and the native data structure exhibits the particular status:
• cause a selectable deep link to be rendered with the application search interface,
• wherein the selectable deep link, in response to being selected, causes the client application to initialize a particular operation that is specified by the native data structure;
• in response to determining that the native data structure is not cached in the local memory or does not exhibit the particular status:
• request, from a remote application programming interface (API), a server data structure,
• wherein the server data structure facilitates searching of the services available via the client application and the server data structure is generated using a remote application service associated with the client application,
• receive, from the remote API, an instance of server data corresponding to the server data structure, and
• cause a separate selectable deep link to be rendered with the application search interface,
• wherein the separate selectable deep link, in response to being selected, causes the client application to initialize a separate operation that is specified by the instance of the server data.

A computing device, comprising:

• local memory;
• one or more processors operable to:
• determine that a user has selected an application shortcut via an interface in furtherance of launching a client application;
• determine whether a native data structure for the client application is cached in the local memory and whether the native data structure exhibits a particular status,
• wherein the native data structure is generated by an assistant application of the computing device and facilitates searching of services available via the client application;
• in response to determining that the native data structure is cached in the local memory of the computing device and the native data structure exhibits the particular status:
• cause a list of selectable deep links to be rendered in association with the application shortcut at the interface,
• wherein a particular selectable deep link of the list of selectable deep links, in response to being selected, causes the client application to initialize a particular operation that is specified by the native data structure;
• in response to determining that the native data structure is not cached in the local memory:
• determine that an application data structure is locally available at the client computing device,
• wherein the application data structure is generated by the client application and facilitates searching of the services available via the client application;
• and
• cause an alternative list of selectable deep links to be rendered with the interface,
• wherein an alternative selectable deep link of the alternative list of selectable deep links, in response to being selected, causes the client application to initialize a separate operation that is specified by the application data structure.
