Summary:Embodiments described herein provide for a multi-process model to support compiling applications for multiple platforms. In one embodiment, applications designed for execution on a mobile platform can be ported to and/or compiled for execution on a desktop/laptop platform without requiring modification of the core program code of the mobile application. The mobile application is executed using a multi-process (e.g., two or more process) model in which the core mobile application program generates content that is displayed by a host process. The host process enables automatic translation of program calls to generate mobile user interface elements into program calls that generate user interface elements of the host platform. The translation can be performed using a multi-process (e.g., two or more process) model in which the core application program generates content that is displayed by a host process.
