Abstract: A computer-implemented method for building a software application is disclosed. The method includes: generating a plurality of application resources; creating a plurality of tags; applying one of the tags on each of the plurality of application resources; grouping the application resources by their tags to form at least two asset packs, each identifiable by at least one tag shared by all application resources in the asset pack; and creating an asset pack manifest comprising a location of each of the asset packs and an order in which the asset packs are to be downloaded.

Abstract: Systems and methods for testing application programs prior to production that enables the developer to internally test and beta test an application program. Furthermore, a potential tester may be added to a beta test list without providing information specific to a device or account information. Specifically, a tester may provide the developer with any contact information that allows the user to receive a beta test invitation. The beta test invitation may include a link that opens a beta testing application that allows the tester to enter account information that is sent to an organization that distributes the application program without sharing such information with the developer. The distributing organization then may create a provisioning profile that pairs the device with the tested application. Thus, the developer may add external testers even when the external testers do not want to share personal account information or have the ability to share device identification information with the developer.

Abstract translation: 在生产之前测试应用程序的系统和方法，使开发人员能够内部测试和测试应用程序。 此外，潜在的测试者可以被添加到beta测试列表中，而不提供特定于设备或帐户信息的信息。 具体来说，测试者可以向开发者提供允许用户接收beta测试邀请的任何联系信息。 beta测试邀请可能包括打开Beta测试应用程序的链接，允许测试人员输入发送给分发应用程序的组织的帐户信息，而不与开发人员共享此类信息。 然后，分发组织可以创建将设备与测试应用相对的供应简档。 因此，即使外部测试人员不想共享个人帐户信息或者能够与开发者共享设备标识信息，开发人员也可以添加外部测试人员。

Abstract: Generic media covers can be generated for digital media items submitted by publishers without a personalized media cover. A generic media cover can be generated for a media item by hashing a unique identifier of the media item that remains consistent throughout the life cycle of the media item. Bytes of the hashed value can be translated into graphic parameters which are used to generate the generic graphic. The graphic parameters can be attached to the generic graphic, thus allowing a user to regenerate the generic graphic at a desired resolution at a later point in time. Also disclosed are techniques for ensuring that generic media covers for a bundle of media items appear substantially similar.
