RVM
The Here Core Runtime Version Manager (RVM) is a lightweight background process that runs alongside the Here Core Runtime to manage updates, lifecycle, and security for all Here Core applications on a given desktop.
The RVM is evergreen, which means it always remains functional throughout any instance of an update to itself or to the Runtime. Before the release of a new RVM version, Here™ conducts beta and full end-to-end integration testing. These tests are completed to ensure compatibility between the RVM and multiple Runtime versions, including older Runtime versions. The RVM also has a built-in rollback feature in the event of app incompatibility after a new version rollout.
