1. A method comprising:
- receiving an application that is publicly available via an application distribution environment, the application being associated with a first icon;
generating a managed clone of the application by;
adding a management wrapper to the application;
generating a badge; and
applying the badge to a second icon associated with the managed clone of the application;
deploying the managed clone of the application to the mobile client device, wherein the managed clone of the application and the application are both installed by the mobile client device, and wherein the mobile client device displays the first icon for the application and the second icon with the badge for the managed clone of the application; and
instructing the mobile client device to automatically launch the application, rather than the managed clone of the application, in response to;
receiving a user selection of the managed clone of the application; and
determining that a compliance rule established remotely by an administrator and provided to the mobile client device prevents launch of the managed clone.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments relating to managed clones of applications. In one embodiment, an application is received. If it is determined that the application should be managed, a managed clone of the application is generated. The managed clone of the application is configured for coexistence along with the application upon a client device under management. The managed clone of the application may then be deployed to the client device under management.
