Abstract

The disclosure relates to mobile applications and, more particularly, to systems and processes for providing a licensing framework in mobile applications developed in a web-based integrated development environment (IDE). The method includes: providing a licensing framework for a computer application residing on a computing device, the computer application being configured to access services through one or more backend services; receiving call ups from the computing device to determine whether usage of the computer application complies with the licensing framework; and providing enforcement mechanisms which affect at least one of services and functionality associated with the computer application based on a state of compliance with the licensing framework.
