Cross-device application interaction method, electronic device and server

The invention provides a cross-device application interaction method, electronic devices and a server, which are used for realizing the flexibility of cross-device application interaction between the electronic devices. In the scheme, the electronic equipment receives an application interaction request sent by other electronic equipment, and the application interaction request comprises target intention information; after determining that the target application is not installed locally, the electronic equipment sends an application downloading request carrying target intention information to a server; and the electronic equipment receives downloading information of the target application from the server, starts the target application after downloading and installing the target application according to the downloading information of the target application, and executes an action corresponding to the target intention information through the target application. By means of the scheme, it is no longer limited tha
