Abstract
A wrapped application may be stored in memory of a mobile device. The wrapped application includes application code and an application wrapper, and the application code integrates primary and secondary application modules and a policy monitoring plugin module. Operations of the application code may be executed on a processor of the mobile device using system events and/or API calls. Responsive to executing operations of the primary/secondary application modules of the application code, consumption of a mobile device resource by the secondary application module may be monitored using the policy monitoring plugin module of the application. Responsive to the consumption of the mobile device resource by the secondary application module exceeding a threshold, a notification of the consumption may be transmitted through a wireless communication interface of the mobile device to a third party source of the application code using the policy monitoring plugin module of the application.
