METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR DYNAMICALLY GENERATING MOBILE APPLICATION LAYOUTS USING CLIENT-INDEPENDENT CONFIGURATION

The methods and apparatuses disclosed herein generally relate to optimizing the creation and loading of application interface layouts by providing a platform for generating configuration files for mobile applications. A mobile configuration file can allow a developer to update an application layout, and for the application to render updated layouts, without any need to alter the underlying code of the application after it has been installed on the a client device. A mobile workbench receives drag-and-drop layout definition input from a developer, and creates a mobile configuration file based on the developer's input. The mobile workbench can then dynamically update the mobile configuration file as the developer updates the application layout. The developer and/or the mobile workbench can send the updated application layout to mobile applications running on client devices, such that the client devices need not redownload the mobile application to render the updated application layout.
