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.

1-23. (canceled)
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;
- deploying the managed clone of the application to a mobile client device, wherein the managed clone of the application and the application are both installed by the mobile client device;
- and
- instructing the mobile client device to automatically launch the managed clone of the application, rather than the application, in response to:
- receiving a gesture applied to the mobile client device by a user, the gesture indicating a selection 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 application.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile client device, performs 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;
- 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
- instructing the mobile client device to automatically launch the managed clone of the application, rather than the application, in response to:
- receiving a gesture applied to the mobile client device by a user, the gesture indicating a selection 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 application.
A system comprising:
- a memory storage storing program code;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory storage, wherein, upon execution, the program code causes the processor to:
- receive an application that is publicly available via an application distribution environment, the application being associated with a first icon;
- generate a managed clone of the application by adding a management wrapper to the application;
- deploy 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
- instruct the mobile client device to automatically launch the managed clone of the application, rather than the application, in response to:
- receiving a gesture applied to the mobile client device by a user, the gesture indicating a selection 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 application.
