System and method for extracting and sharing application-related user data

A method, implemented at least in part by a computing device for extracting and sharing application-related user data, the method comprising:

• while a first application is running on the computing device, detecting a user interface (UI) event triggered by a user action interacting with the first application;
• storing information describing the user action in association with the first application in an operating system store;
• and
• transmitting the stored information describing the user action to a second application upon receiving a request to access the operating system store.

A system for extracting and sharing application-related user data in a client device, the system comprising:

• a tracer service operable to:
• detect a user interface (UI) event triggered by a user action in connection with a first application;
• an analyzer service operable to:
• store at least one user data item (UDI) that includes the user action in an operating system store;
• upon receiving a request to the operating system from a second application, transmitting the UDI including the user action to the second application.
