Application Versioning

SAP Mobile Platform Server 3.0 includes application versioning for hybrid apps.

When you upload and deploy a new or updated version of a hybrid app to SAP Mobile Platform Server, you can designate it as the current version, while maintaining older versions of the application. When a user who is using an older version of the application connects to the server, the server calculates the difference between the user's version and the new version, and downloads a patch that contains only the required changes. If the application implements the AppUpdate plugin, the server checks for updates when the application starts-up or is resumed.

SAP Mobile Platform Server allows you to use REST APIs to automate application versioning management by integrating it into your application build or application artifact management processes.
