Method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for supporting application development

An application development support system for generating an application comprising:

• a build resource storing unit that includes a library and a manifest file,
• a file extraction unit that, when there are a plurality of versions of a platform being an operation target for the application, extracts the library commonly required by all the platforms, and identifies and extracts the library that is required other than commonly required by all the versions of the platform from a specified resource storing area;
• an interface inquiry unit that inquires about a public interface relating to an un-extracted library in the resource storing area;
• and
• a manifest file generation unit that generates a manifest file for a difference detected by the interface inquiry unit, and connects the generated manifest file with an existing manifest file.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, for generating an application by building resources including a library and a manifest file, which causes a computer and peripheral devices to perform the following operations:

• extracting, when there are a plurality of versions of a platform being an operation target for the application, the library commonly required by all the versions of the platform from a specified resource storing area,
• identifying and extracting the library that is required other than commonly required by all the versions of the platform from the specified resource storing area,
• inquiring about a public interface relating to an un-extracted library in the specified resource storing area,
• generating a manifest file for a difference detected when inquiring about the public interface;
• and
• connecting the generated manifest file with an existing manifest file.
