Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system for sharing an application, and an application service platform. The method comprises: an application service platform, according to an application-sharing request sent from a source client, generates an application-sharing link containing an identifier of the source client, and returns the application-sharing link to the source client; the source client shares the sharing link with the target client; the application service platform, after receiving the connection request to the sharing link sent by the target client, generates an application installation package carrying the identifier of the source client, and returns the application installation package to the target client; the target client installs the application according to the installation package; an application service platform, after receiving an application login request sent by the target client, builds a friend-relationship between a user of the source client and a user of the target client according to the identifier of the source client carried in the application login request. The present invention, by means of application sharing, is able to facilitate establishment of a friend-relationship, enhances application interaction, and improves user experience.
