Automatic real user monitoring (RUM) instrumentation

A method, comprising:

• accessing an application package comprising executable manifest;
• extracting the executable manifest from the application package;
• decoding the executable manifest into an intermediate manifest;
• matching a portion of the intermediate manifest to an object signature;
• inserting, in the intermediate manifest, in at least one of before the object signature and after the object signature an instrumentation code to produce an instrumented manifest;
• encoding the instrumented manifest into an instrumented machine-readable manifest;
• extracting an executable application code from the application package;
• decompiling the executable application code into a generated source code file;
• and
• packaging the instrumented machine-readable manifest into an instrumented application package.

A system, comprising:

• a data storage maintaining an application package comprising an executable manifest;
• a processor coupled to a computer memory and having stored thereon instructions to cause the processor to:
• access the application package from the data storage;
• extract the executable manifest from the application package;
• decode the executable manifest into an intermediate manifest;
• match a portion of the intermediate manifest to an object signature;
• insert, in the intermediate manifest in at least one of before the object signature and after the object signature, an instrumentation code to produce an instrumented manifest;
• encode the instrumented manifest into an instrumented machine-readable manifest;
• extract an executable application code from the application package;
• decompile the executable application code into a generated source code file;
• package the instrumented machine-readable manifest into an instrumented application package;
• and
• store the instrumented application package in the data storage.
