Platform independent rendering for native mobile applications

A system for rendering native mobile applications on one or more client devices such that the one or more client devices can read or address the mobile applications and plug-in/widget specifications at run time and provide corresponding graphical user interfaces and workflows, the system comprising:

• a server being in communication with the one or more client devices, one or more enterprise backend resources and one or more enterprise backend services;
• wherein the server comprises one or more processors and a memory, the memory maintaining a mobile application specification, one or more plug-in specifications, and one or more widget specifications, wherein each of the plug-in specifications is associated with at least one first enterprise backend resource or enterprise service, and each of the widget specifications is associated with at least one second enterprise backend resource or enterprise service, in which at least one of the widget specifications or at least one of the plug-in specifications enables bi-directional data transmission between one or more native mobile applications and at least one of the at least one first enterprise backend resource or enterprise service and the at least one second enterprise backend resource or enterprise service;
• wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
• selectively integrate at least one of the plug-in specifications or at least one of the widget specifications into the mobile application specification;
• compile the one or more native mobile applications based at least in part on the mobile application specification;
• and
• send the one or more native mobile applications to the one or more client devices.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a method for rendering native mobile applications on one or more client devices such that the one or more client devices can read or address the mobile applications and plug-in/widget specifications at run time and provide corresponding graphical user interfaces and workflows, the method comprising:

• maintaining a mobile application specification;
• maintaining a plurality of plug-in specifications, wherein each of the plug-in specifications is associated with at least one first enterprise backend resource or enterprise service;
• maintaining a plurality of widget specifications, wherein each of the widget specifications is associated with at least one second enterprise backend resource or enterprise service;
• selectively integrating at least one of the plug-in specifications or at least one of the widget specifications into the mobile application specification, in which at least one of the widget specifications or at least one of the plug-in specifications enables bi-directional data transmission between one or more native mobile applications and at least one of the at least one first enterprise backend resource or enterprise service and the at least one second enterprise backend resource or enterprise service;
• compiling the one or more native mobile applications based at least in part on the mobile application specification;
• and
• sending the one or more native mobile applications to the one or more client devices.
