Abstract
A mobile application management through policy inclusion using centralized enforcement libraries is disclosed. The method includes storing independently developed mobile applications on at least one server. The method further includes storing independently developed policies associated with each of the independently developed mobile applications on the at least one server. The method further includes associating a policy of the stored independently developed policies with any of the mobile applications of the independently developed mobile applications. The method further includes providing the associated policy and mobile application to a mobile device where the enforcement libraries restrict the app as instructed by the policy.

11. A system implementing policies on a mobile device and associated with at least one mobile application, comprising:
a mobile application management server, comprising; a portal for receiving independently developed mobile applications and one or more policies; a repository for storing the independently developed mobile applications; a repository for storing the one or more policies associated with any of the independently developed mobile applications; and a service component to provide a policy of the stored policies and an associated mobile application of the mobile applications to a mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer system for sending and receiving policies and mobile applications, the system comprising:
-
a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage media; first program instructions to retrieve independently developed mobile applications, which run on existing APIs of a mobile device; second program instructions to retrieve independently developed one or more policies, which run through existing APIs of an operating system of the mobile device; and third program instructions to provide a policy of the one or more policies and a mobile application to be independently executed on a mobile device, by having the policy run on the existing API of the operating system of the mobile device and independent of the mobile application, wherein the first, second and third program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a mobile application; receiving a policy associated with the mobile application; and executing the policy through an application program interface (API) of an operating system of the mobile application, prior to the mobile application, wherein; the policy is retrieved from a reusable library of application policy enforcements that are combined with any enterprise mobile application; the policy provides a security layer between the mobile application and an operating system of the mobile device; the policy runs independent of the mobile application; and the policy runs through the operating system of the mobile device, prior to the mobile application, to apply enforcement rules for the mobile application.
