SYSTEM FOR MANAGING ASSET MANAGER LIFETIMES

摘要

This application relates to systems, methods, and apparatuses for managing assets of an application of a computing device using asset managers. Specifically, the embodiments herein are set forth to manage the lifetime of asset managers based on whether a module of the computing device is using the asset managers. When an application is updated, certain modules of the computing device may need to access the updated assets of the application. In order to correctly reference the updated assets, the module can request a volatile resource using a set of unique identifiers for the updated application. Thereafter, volatile resource can reference an asset manager and the assets of the application until the module determines that another update has been installed at the computing device. In this way, the lifetime of the asset manager is determined by the module, rather than being directly based on an update to an application.
