Operating system extension framework

A system comprising:

• at least one data processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions, which when executed by at least one data processor, result in operations comprising:
• receiving, by a host application, data encapsulating a modification to an extension configuration file that defines one or more extensions for use by the host application, wherein the host application comprises a plurality of binary files;
• providing, by the host application, the modified extension configuration file to an extension framework for instantiation of a first extension of the one or more extensions;
• generating, by the extension framework, an interface for the first extension for communication with the extension framework;
• and
• building and generating, by the extension framework, a new application encompassing the extension framework, the first extension, and the host application without modification to the plurality of binary files of the host application, wherein the first extension communicates with the extension framework via the interface;
• wherein the new application interfaces with an operating system that prevent modification of binary files associated with the one or more extensions and the first extension remains undetectable by the operating system.

A non-transitory computer programmable product storing instructions which, when executed by at least one data processor forming part of at least one computing device, implement operations comprising:

• receiving, by a host application, data encapsulating a modification to an extension configuration file that defines one or more extensions for use by the host application, wherein the host application comprises a plurality of binary files;
• providing, by the host application, the modified extension configuration file to an extension framework for instantiation of a first extension of the one or more extensions;
• generating, by the extension framework, an interface for the first extension for communication with the extension framework;
• and
• building and generating, by the extension framework, a new application encompassing the extension framework, the first extension, and the host application without modification to the plurality of binary files of the host application, wherein the first extension communicates with the extension framework via the interface;
• wherein the new application interfaces with an operating system that prevent modification of binary files associated with the one or more extensions and the first extension remains undetectable by the operating system.
