Abstract:
An example computer implemented method to automatically download and install a second application can include a first application detecting that a condition has occurred. This first application can be preinstalled by the original equipment manufacturer. The first application can then present an interface for signing in to or signing up for a service. The first application can then download and install the second application. This downloading and installation can occur in the background without requiring user interaction. The second application can be a client application for the service and the first application can pass a token with login credentials to the second application. This can allow the second application to be authenticated with the service without requiring a user to reenter the user's credentials.
