Apparatus and methods related to stored software libraries are provided. A computing device can receive versioned-shared-library information for a first software library used by a software application, where the versioned-shared-library information can include an identifier. The computing device can determine whether the computing device stores a copy of the first software library identified in the versioned-shared-library information by the identifier. The computing device can send a request for one of a full executable and a stripped executable for the software application, where the full executable includes the first software library, and where the stripped executable excludes the first software library. In response to the request, the computing device can receive the full executable or the stripped executable for the software application.

Shared software libraries for computing devices

Methods for identifying and obtaining a suitable application for interacting with a selected content item by providing secure access to a limited portion of information on the selected content item are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a selection from a user in an initial application running on a device to interact with a content item accessible by the initial application, and generating a hash value from the limited portion of information on the content item. The method further includes requesting a copy of the at least one suitable application when the comparison of the hash value for the content item with the hash value for the suitable application match, executing the suitable application on the device, and providing the limited portion of information on the content item to the suitable application for interaction by the user. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Privacy aware intent resolution with external sources

A system for building and managing a modular application includes multiple libraries. Each one of the libraries includes at least one functional module. The build system also includes a selector capable of selecting a functional module from the libraries. A compiler for compiling the selected functional module is also included.

System and method for cross platform and configuration build system

A method for managing constant values among disparate code portions that use the same constant names is provided. The method includes inspecting the disparate code portions to identify constant names used in the disparate code portions and defining name value pairs in a text file. The method then includes parsing the text file. The parsing of the text file is configured to generate a definition code file for each of the disparate code portions, and each of the disparate code portions has an associated definition code file, and the associated disparate code portion and definition code file have the same language type. Further, each definition code file defines a same constant value for the same constant names used in each of the disparate code portions.
