Automated address failover for receivers and browsers using a cloud service

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to implement a method for automated address failover, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to:
• access a cloud service;
• perform system caching operations to locally store (a) an offline copy of a StoreFront web User Interface (“UI”) for a main StoreFront provided by the cloud service and (b) a plurality of Cloud Connector addresses;
• transmit a silent request from a Receiver of an Application/Desktop delivery solution to each of the cloud service and the plurality of Cloud Connector addresses;
• operate the Receiver using an address for the cloud service for web Application Programming Interface (“API”) calls to the main StoreFront, if the cloud service responded to the silent request;
• and
• operate the Receiver or a Webview using one of the plurality of Cloud Connector addresses that is associated with a reachable Cloud Connector for web API calls to a backup StoreFront, if the cloud service did not respond to the silent request.
