Description

Method and System for Automatic Multi-OS Application Generation The present disclosure relates to a method and system for automatically generating multi-OS applications. More specifically, it relates to a method and system capable of analyzing the structure and function of a reference website or reference application, automatically generating a target application based thereon, and updating the target application in real time through changes to JSON data. Recently, there has been an increasing demand in the software development field for the automation of application development and maintenance in multi-OS environments. Generally, application development involves the processes of planning, design, front-end development, back-end development, operations, and maintenance, and various development frameworks and platform-specific development tools are used for this purpose. Companies and service providers face the burden of simultaneously developing and maintaining not only web applications but also iOS and Android applications; consequently, there is a growing need for technology that can automatically generate multi-OS applications from a single codebase and update them in real time. Existing application development methods have several technical limitations. First, the burden of development and maintenance per platform is significant. Generally, native application development requires writing separate code tailored to each operating system (OS), necessitating redundant development and maintenance to implement the same functionality. Cross-platform development methods may also require additional modifications to address UI/UX differences across various OSs. Second, there is inefficiency in application updates. Changing the UI or functionality of existing native applications requires going through procedures such as code modification, building, deployment, and App Store review, which are time-consuming. In particular, since a new version release is necessary even for simple UI changes (such as changing button colors or adjusting layouts), maintenance costs increase and operational efficiency decreases. Third, synchronization issues arise between websites and applications. Generally, a single service often operates both web and mobile (iOS, Android) versions simultaneously, requiring additional development work to maintain UI and functionality consistency across platforms. In particular, when developing an app based on a website, it is necessary to convert the web's structure and functions to suit the mobile environment, and this process carries the potential for data and UI inconsistencies. Therefore, technology is emerging that analyzes the structure and functions of existing websites or applications to automatically generate multi-OS applications and enables real-time updates to the UI and functions solely through JSON-based data modification.
