Method and apparatus for improving runtime performance after application update in electronic device

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for improving runtime performance when an application installed in an electronic device is updated. An electronic device according to various embodiments may include: a communication circuit configured to perform radio communication; at least one processor operatively connected to the communication circuit; and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: detect updating of an application; obtain an update file for updating the application based on detecting updating of the application; obtain first information previously recorded in association with the application and second information related to the update file of the application while installing the application; and produce, based on matching performed between the first information and the second information, a new profile to be used in the application after the updating.
