A client-based application includes sections that are used to define user interface displays for the system. The sections are customizable by a backend system so customizations are accommodated by modified versions of the mobile application.

Using sections for customization of applications across platforms

In some examples, dependency-based metadata retrieval and update may include receiving a query for an update of metadata associated with an application. The query may include a previous version associated with a previous synchronization of the metadata. Alternatively or additionally, the query may include a metadata tree associated with the metadata. Dependency based metadata retrieval and update may further include generating, based on the query and a dependency tree, a response to include the update that includes a modification to a metadata fragment of the metadata. The dependency tree may include a parent and child relationship between each of a plurality of metadata fragments including the metadata fragment, and may further include versions associated with the plurality of metadata fragments.

Dependency-based metadata retrieval and update

A dynamic customization system provides custom behavior for an application that has client code with an extensibility point and that has server code. An entity that uses the application provides a specification of custom behavior for the extensibility point to an extensibility server. The specification specifies an operation to perform after an occurrence of an extensibility event of the extensibility point during execution of the client code. A client executing the client code retrieves an indication of an extensibility server. The client then retrieves from the extensibility server a specification of the custom behavior for the extensibility point. After the occurrence of the extensibility event, the client sends to an operation server a request to perform the operation. The client may then receive from the operation server a response indicating the status of the request.
