Abstract
A method for hardening in the field code of mobile software applications is described that includes receiving, by a cloud service framework, an application via a user interface over a network. The method also includes generating, by the cloud service framework, a representation of the code of the application and determining, by the cloud service framework, changes to code of the application based at least in part on the representation, wherein the changes to the code preclude the application from performing one or more unwanted behaviors. The method also includes instrumenting, by a static instrumentation unit within the cloud service framework, the application with the changes to the code to create an instrumented application that does not perform the one or more unwanted behaviors.
