Automatically updating a hybrid application

A non-transitory computer readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:

• storing, by a computing device, a software application in memory of the computing device, where the software application includes a native component and a resource bundle, where the native component is generated using technologies native to the computing device, and where the resource bundle includes non-native web code defining a web view for the software application;
• executing, by the computing device, the native component of the software application;
• upon execution of the native component, loading, by the computing device, web code from the stored resource bundle into the native component to generate the web view;
• presenting the web view on a display of the computing device;
• determining, by the computing device, a first version identifier for the stored resource bundle;
• sending, by the computing device, a message from the web view to the server device including the first version identifier, where the server device determines whether the first version identifier corresponds to the latest version of the resource bundle;
• and
• receiving, by the computing device from server device, update data when the first version identifier is different than a second version identifier corresponding to a latest version of the resource bundle;
• and
• while the software application continues to execute:
• automatically updating, by the computing device, the stored resource bundle to correspond to the latest version of the resource bundle based on the update data;
• automatically reloading, by the computing device, web code from the updated resource bundle into the native component to generate an updated web view;
• and
• presenting the updated web view on a display of the computing device.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
• storing, by the system, a software application in memory of the computing device, where the software application includes a native component and a resource bundle, where the native component is generated using technologies native to the computing device, and where the resource bundle includes non-native web code defining a web view for the software application;
• executing, by the system, the native component of the software application;
• upon execution of the native component, loading, by the system, web code from the stored resource bundle into the native component to generate the web view;
• presenting the web view on a display of the computing device;
• determining, by the computing device, a first version identifier for the stored resource bundle;
• sending, by the computing device, a message from the web view to the server device including the first version identifier, where the server device determines whether the first version identifier corresponds to the latest version of the resource bundle;
• and
• receiving, by the computing device from server device, update data when the first version identifier is different than a second version identifier corresponding to a latest version of the resource bundle;
• and
• while the software application continues to execute:
• based on the update date, determining one or more resources in the resource bundle to update;
• obtaining the one or more resources from the server device;
• automatically updating, by the system, the stored resource bundle to include the one or more resources;
• automatically reloading, by the system, web code from the updated resource bundle into the native component to generate an updated web view;
• and
• presenting the updated web view on a display of the computing device.
