Abstract
When an application client is started, if an application patch file package exists for the application client, the device invokes a DexClassLoader to load one or more executable files generated from one or more class files for which an updated version and a current version of the application client have a difference. The device initializes the application client by inserting each of the one or more executable files in front of existing executable files of a corresponding application component in the current version of the application client, such that invocation of corresponding class files for the one or more classes in the current version of the application client is bypassed during the initializing of the application client. The present disclosure resolves a technical problem that when an application is updated, a current operation needs to be interrupted to enter an installation interface, consequently reducing application update efficiency.
