A method is disclosed. For example, the method executed by a processor of a multi-function device (MFD) includes accessing a third party application stored in a memory of the MFD, determining that the third party application has been updated, retrieving an update to the third party application from a server that stores updates for third party applications, and executing the third party application with the update on the MFD.

System to extend functionality of third party apps on multi-function device web browsers

Methods and systems for accessing a network-based extensible interface platform via multifunction devices. The extensible interface platform can be hosted on a network server accessible via a network in communication with the network server. An access to a device that communicates with the network server via the network can be authenticated in response to invoking a login procedure at the device. An account can be automatically linked to the network server after authenticating access to the device. The extensible interface platform can be loaded onto a local user interface associated with the device to present an extensible interface platform workflow associated with the account even though the extensible interface platform is not installed at the device.
