Abstract
An OS API mapping computer operates to identify a set of OS APIs of a first OS version not present in a second OS version. OS APIs of the second OS version are identified that satisfy a defined rule for compatibility with the set of OS APIs of the first OS version not present in the second OS version. An OS APIs replacement list is generated that maps individual ones of the set of OS APIs of the first OS version, to corresponding ones of the OS APIs of the second OS version that satisfy the defined rule. A set is identified of OS APIs of an application that are in the OS APIs replacement list among the set of OS APIs of the first OS version. A plugin is generated based on the OS APIs of the second OS version mapped to the set of application OS APIs.
