Abstract
A method of managing access to a plurality of applications capable of executing within a container provisioned on a computing device. The method comprises the steps of: receiving, at a first communications interface of the container, a first communication for execution by a first application in the plurality of applications capable of executing within the container, wherein the communication is received from an on-device process via a first communication pathway using an inter-process communication (IPC) framework provided by an operating system executing on the computing device; sending, from the first communications interface of the container, the communication to a second communications interface of the first application via a second communication pathway provided by the container, wherein the second communication pathway bypasses the IPC framework; receiving, at the first communications interface of the container, a response to the first communication from the second communications interface of the first application via the second communication pathway; and sending, the response from the first communications interface of the container to the on-device process via the first communication pathway.
