Abstract
An approach is proposed to support automatic API generation for integration of web-based components with a native application. First, mini apps are included in a container, wherein the mini apps are web-based features assembled together as a bundle of JavaScript assets to be integrated with the native application on a mobile device. A set of APIs to the mini apps are then automatically generated based on pre-defined schemas in native code specific to the platform of the mobile device and merged with the mini apps into the container. The container is published to a repository at a central, team shared, location and imported to the mobile device for integration with the native application. Finally, a target mobile application is created by integrating the mini apps with the native application on the mobile device via the APIs, wherein the target mobile application is uploaded and made available to an end user.
