Abstract
A computer-implemented method for injecting code into an application is described. In one embodiment, a metadata pointer is identified. The metadata pointer points to a first metadata section in an application startup file. The first metadata section includes application metadata. A second metadata section is created in the application startup file. The application metadata is copied to the second metadata section. The second metadata section includes copied application metadata. The copied application metadata in the second metadata section is modified. The metadata pointer is updated to point to the second metadata section.
