Method and apparatus for developing, distributing and executing applications

A computer-implemented method performed by a computerized device, comprising:

• responsive to activating a parent application, displaying to a user of a mobile device a collection of specific applications;
• receiving from a user an indication to a specific application;
• updating a database stored on the mobile device with information related to at least one module used by the specific application, wherein the at least one module is pre-stored on the device;
• providing a data file associated with the specific application to the mobile device;
• and
• providing an activation shortcut to the specific application, wherein the activation shortcut is associated with a parameter, and wherein activating the activation shortcut activates the parent application with the parameter.

An apparatus comprising a processing unit and a storage device, comprising:

• a module storage comprising modules required for at least one specific application, to be downloaded to a mobile device;
• a specific application database comprising information related to at least one module used by the specific application, to be downloaded to the mobile device;
• and
• a parent application to be downloaded to a mobile device, wherein the parent application is designed to activate on the mobile device at least one of the modules, to provide the functionality of a specific application.

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium;
• a first program instruction for starting a parent application with a parameter associated with a specific application responsive to a user of a mobile device selecting a specific application, wherein the parent application is configured to provide a functionality of the specific application;
• a second program instruction for retrieving from a local database in the mobile device a configuration of the specific application, wherein the configuration comprises a set of modules used by the specific application and a manner of usage thereof;
• and
• a third program instruction for activating the set of modules to provide the functionality of the specific application by the parent application,
• wherein said first, second and third program instructions are stored on said non-transitory computer readable medium.
