Abstract:

Described herein is a system and method for performing dynamic package dependency(ies) in a package identifier-based operating system. A package identifier can store information regarding a dependency target indicating whether the dependency target can be consumed by another package and/or a non-package application. Thus, application(s) developed without package identifier(s) can dynamically access code, libraries, and/or resource(s), etc. associated with one or more other package-based applications. At runtime, process(es) can dynamically add, delete, update and/or expand package dependency(ies), thus extending access to code, library(ies), and/or resource(s) associated with particular trusted/secure package identifier(s).

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method comprises executing a first application package in a runtime having a first application security context, identifying a dependency element in a second application package, and if the dependency element is associated with the first application package, then executing the second application package within the runtime and security context for the first application package. A system comprises a system memory for storing files for a main application package and files for optional application packages, wherein the optional application packages each comprise a dependency element that identifies one or more intended main application package; and a processor having a runtime and security context configured to support execution of the main application package, wherein one or more optional application packages execute on the processor within the runtime and security context with the first application package if the one or more optional application package's dependency element identifies the main application package.
