Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a method for managing an application at an electronic device ( 202 ). The method includes receiving ( 304 ) the application at the electronic device. The application has one or more user interface attributes. Each user interface attribute has a set of usable values. The method also includes determining ( 306 ) a set of permitted values of at least one of the one or more user interface attributes by using policy rules in response to one or more environmental conditions determined by the electronic device. Further, the method includes merging ( 308 ) the application with an operational platform of the electronic device and activating the application. The application is merged and activated at the electronic device, when, for each of the at least one of the one or more user interface attributes of the application, there is at least one value that is common to the set of permitted values and the set of usable values.
