US Patent 10268476 System and method for fast restarting of user apps

A system and method for fast restart of user apps on a user device. A host system hosts classes and resources of the user app, and a service app host application on the host system deploys an initial instance of the user app on the user device that includes additional instrumentation for enabling the user app to be quickly restarted on the user device with a set of changed classes and/or changed resources that comprise the latest version of the user app during development of the user app. This can significantly reduce the typically long turnaround time when developing and testing user apps as compared to current systems and methods. In a preferred embodiment, the system enables a fast restart of user apps running on Android user devices.
