Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for determining that a native application limits access to the native application using account credential requirements, the native application generating an application environment for display on a user device within the native application and operating independent of a browser application that can operate on the user device; obtaining a set of account credentials for indexing environment instances of the native application; instantiating the native application with the set of account credentials; and accessing environment instances of the native application, and for each of the environment instances: generating environment instance data describing content of the environment instance, the content described by the environment instance data including text that a user device displays on the environment instance when the user device displays the environment instance; and indexing the environment instance data for the native application in an index that is searchable by a search engine.
