Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system, method, and computer program product for dynamically switching virtual devices in a virtual mobile device platform. The virtual devices may use any desired operating system or operating system version. In some embodiments, a launch application installed on a secondary virtual device is defined for opening a file of a given file type. Upon a request to open a file of the given file type, the secondary virtual device is launched, and a connection is established with a client device. A client device can connect to a secondary virtual device by using a primary virtual device as a proxy, or by using a bypass channel connection.
