Hi Maninda, Yes that's exactly application platforms (application types) are for. Application platforms can be written for any device platform to distribute resources to the device. It could be a binary file, text file, url or even a firmware upgrade. App platform can be map to any device platform and it is not a 1:1 relationship. It is possible to push an Android application to raspberry pi device which is running on Android Things, or push an simple file that has instructions to run on an Arduino device.
