Methods and systems for developing, modifying, and distributing software applications for enterprise systems are described herein. A software component, such as a native mobile application or a template application, may be modified into a managed mobile application, and metadata associated with the managed mobile application may be generated. The managed application and associated metadata may be provided to one or more application stores, such as public application stores and/or enterprise application stores. Managed applications and/or associated metadata may be retrieved by computing devices from public application stores and/or enterprise application stores, and may be executed as managed applications in an enterprise system.

Application wrapping for application management framework

Methods and systems are disclosed for providing approaches to generating managed applications from unmanaged applications on a mobile device. The methods and systems may include storing, by a mobile device in a memory of the mobile device, one or more unmanaged applications each comprising a corresponding application bundle and decoding, by the mobile device, the retrieved application bundle corresponding to the first unmanaged application. The methods and systems may also include modifying, by the mobile device, the decoded application bundle corresponding to the first unmanaged application by adding a set of one or more policy-based control instructions, compiling, by the mobile device, the modified application bundle to generate a first managed application, the first managed application being configured to operate in accordance with the set of one or more policy-based control instructions, and providing, by the mobile device, the first managed application.

Wrapping unmanaged applications on a mobile device

Described are systems and methods for managing network packet traffic between a client device and an enterprise server. A list of enterprise-authorized applications is maintained. Data packets, such as TCP and UDP data packets, communicated from applications running on the device are analyzed to determine an originating application corresponding to each packet. The originating application is compared to the list of authorized applications, and a VPN tunnel is created for the packet to access the enterprise server if the corresponding originating application is an authorized application.
