OPERATIONS TO AVOID WRAPPED MOBILE APPLICATION OPERATIONAL ERRORS DUE TO INTERFERENCE FROM WRAPPER LOGIC COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- performing operations as follows on a processor of an application wrapper computer;
for each of a plurality of features of an application program in an application package, performing;
associating one of a plurality of wrapper logic components in a set with the feature;
identifying a location of the feature in the application program;
identifying from a portion of the application program at the location whether the feature will have an operational error during execution of the portion of the application program by a user device responsive to a request from the feature for access to a resource of the user device being blocked by the one of the plurality of wrapper logic components when executed by the user device to control access by the feature to the resource; and
responsive to an operational error being identified,identifying content of an acceptable response to the request from the feature to avoid the operational error, andmodifying the one of the plurality of wrapper logic components to provide the content of the acceptable response to the request from the feature when the one of the plurality of wrapper logic components is blocking the request from accessing the resource of the user device; and
combining the wrapper logic components of the set and the application program to form a wrapped application package.

Abstract
A method on a processor of an application wrapper computer includes, for each of a plurality of features of an application program in an application package, associating a wrapper component with the feature, identifying a location of the feature in the application program, and identifying from a portion of the application program at the location whether the feature will have an operational error during execution responsive to a request from the feature for access to a resource of a user device being blocked by the wrapper component. For each of the plurality of features, the method further responds to an operational error being identified by identifying content of an acceptable response to the request to avoid the operational error, and modifying the wrapper component to provide the content of the acceptable response to the request when the wrapper component is blocking the request from accessing the resource.

20. A method comprising:
-
performing operations as follows on a processor of an application wrapper computer; decompiling executable code of an application package containing an application program to provide a decompiled application package; identifying features of the application program based on content of the decompiled application package; disassembling the decompiled application package to provide disassembled code; for each of the features of the application program, performing; associating one of a plurality of wrapper logic components in a set with the feature; identifying a location of the feature in the disassembled code; identifying from a portion of the disassembled code at the location of the feature in the disassembled code whether the feature will have an operational error during execution of the portion of the disassembled code by a user device responsive to a request from the feature for access to a resource of the user device being blocked by the one of the plurality of wrapper logic components when executed by the user device to control access by the feature to the resource; and responsive to an operational error being identified, identifying an acceptable response to the request from the feature to avoid the operational error, and modifying the one of the plurality of wrapper logic components to provide the acceptable response to the request from the feature when the one of the plurality of wrapper logic components is blocking the request from accessing the resource of the user device; generating modified disassembled code by, for each of the features, inserting an operational hook at the location in the disassembled code where the feature was identified, the operational hook calling one of the wrapper logic components of the set that is configured to control access by the feature to a resource of the user device; assembling the modified disassembled code to provide modified assembled code; and combining the wrapper logic components of the set with the modified assembled code to form a wrapped application package comprising executable code from the modified assembled code and executable code from the wrapper logic components of the set that control calls by the executable code from the modified assembled code to access resources of the user device.
