Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for automatically updating a hybrid web application. In some implementations, a computing device can be configured with a hybrid application that includes a native layer and a web view. The native layer can provide access to native features of the computing device while the web view can provide web client features, such as graphical user interfaces and server communication functionality. When the hybrid application is invoked, the native layer can load a resource bundle from local storage. The resource bundle can include the web code needed to present the web view graphical user interface, manage application data, and/or facilitate communication with the web server. To update the hybrid application, the application can download an updated resource bundle from the web server and reload the web code from the resource bundle.
