Abstract

Methods and systems for providing multiple versions of an application in a social network are described. In some aspects, a first version of the application provides a first set of features while a second version of the application provides the first set of features and also a second set of features. Both the first version of the application and the second version of the application access the same application state data, which may be maintained by a back-end system, such as a social network. When the state data is updated by one or the other versions of the application, a notification may be provided to the other version of the application informing it of the update. The application state data may represent, for example, a shared gaming environment accessed by both the first and second versions of the application.
