Abstract
A portal application can receive a listing of available applications in response to a request sent to a management server. The listing can include a plurality of attributes for each available application, such as the requirements for using the features of each application or a dependency upon another application. Based on the plurality of attributes received, the portal application can determine that a first application requires installation of a second application in order for the first application to provide additional functionality. The portal application can display icons corresponding to the available applications and display one or more UI elements, indicating that the first application requires installation of the second application. The portal application can also push the second application to the device and assist in installing and initializing the second application on the device.
