Provided is an application development platform and associated software development kits ('SDKs') that provide comprehensive services for generation, deployment, and management of machine-learned models used by computer applications such as, for example, mobile applications executed by a mobile computing device. In particular, the application development platform and SDKs can provide or otherwise leverage a unified, cross-platform application programming interface (“API”) that enables access to all of the different machine learning services needed for full machine learning functionality within the application. In such fashion, developers can have access to a single SDK for all machine learning services.

Application development platform and software development kits that provide comprehensive machine learning services

A system and method for hosting and publishing software packages is disclosed. An example method includes receiving and storing artifacts related to a software development kit and metadata describing a version of the software development kit. The received artifacts and metadata may be converted into a package for the software development kit. The package may then be staged and the package's dependencies may be checked to ensure that the package's dependencies exist and that there are no conflicts with another staged package. The currently staged packages may then be tested to determine if there are any incompatibilities among the staged packages and access control information may be used to provide the currently staged packages in a common format to the appropriate users.
