1. A method for automatically processing components on a device, the method comprising:
- receiving a version identifier of an action list, wherein the action list includes a component-specific set of actions to be selectively performed for each of a plurality of different components, each of the plurality of different components being a device-executable application;
comparing the version identifier to a stored version identifier;
determining that the version identifier is not equivalent to the stored version identifier;
receiving the action list in response to the determination that the version identifier is not equivalent to the stored version identifier;
parsing the action list to obtain a component identifier that identifies one of the plurality of different components and an associated action for the identified component from the component-specific set of actions; and
performing the associated action on the identified component.

40. A method for automatically processing components on a network-enabled device by allowing the device to install, update or delete a component on the device using a version action list available on a download server, the method comprising:
-
receiving a version identifier of an action list, wherein each item in the action list comprises a component/action pair that associates a component identifier with an action identifier; comparing the version identifier to a stored version identifier of the device; determining that the version identifier is not equivalent to the stored version identifier; receiving the action list in response to the determination that the version identifier is not equivalent to the stored version identifier; parsing each item in the action list to obtain a given component identifier and an associated action; and performing the associated action on a given component that is identified by the given component identifier, wherein the performing performs the associated action irrespective of a magnitude to which the version identifier is different than the stored version identifier.
