Abstract: A method and an apparatus for an application thinning mechanism are described. The thinning mechanism can select a subset of components from a universal application to assemble an application variant to be distributed and installed to a specific type of devices. The universal application may include every component, such as asset, resource or executable, built/developed for targeted device attributes to install one common application to multiple devices. For example, the thinning mechanism can use a trait vector associated with a type of devices to iterate through the components and identify assets to be included or packaged into in each target device specific application or application variant.

Abstract translation: 描述了一种应用稀疏机制的方法和装置。 稀疏机制可以从通用应用程序中选择一个组件的子集，以组装要分发和安装到特定类型设备的应用程序变体。 通用应用可以包括针对目标设备属性构建/开发的每个组件，例如资产，资源或可执行文件，以将一个通用应用安装到多个设备。 例如，稀疏机制可以使用与一类设备相关联的特征向量来遍历组件并且识别要包含或打包在每个目标设备特定应用或应用变体中的资产。
