Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device receives a first user operation. The first user operation is used to request to install a first plug-in related to a first application, the first application includes a first plug-in framework and at least one plug-in associated with the first plug-in framework, a major version number of each of the at least one plug-in is the same as a major version number of the first plug-in framework, and the first plug-in is different from the at least one plug-in. The electronic device receives the first plug-in from a server. The electronic device detects whether a major version number of the first plug-in is the same as the major version number of the first plug-in framework. If yes, the electronic device installs the first plug-in.
