Abstract
Discussed herein are systems and methods for detecting fraud, corruption, and malfunctions of applications on a user equipment by identifying and separating a software developer kit (SDK) from an application package and encasing the separated SDK in a wrapper to communicatively isolate it from the operating system and other elements of the UE. By monitoring and intercepting API calls from SDKs encased in wrappers, the UE determines what action to take based on an evaluation of the intercepted API calls.
