Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for improved application rollback or application migration on a user device. A portal application can store state information for multiple applications installed on a user device. The portal application can send the state information to a management server that exerts management control over aspects of the user device.

The portal application can cause the application to be uninstalled and can install a new instance of the target application as specified by the rollback command. The example method can further include the portal application providing at least some state information to the new instance of the application. The new instance of the application can use that state information to implement a configuration in the application.
