I believe this is a noun in expressions such as 野良の黒猫、野良の子猫
You can also find some examples such as うちの会社に住み着いている野良がいてますが

I agree. 野良アプリ is probably an idiosyncratic use of sense two rather than a new sense. The n-grams for 野良* don't show anything in this line.

I'm not convinced there really is an "unauthorised" sense here. 野良アプリ refers to an app that isn't downloaded via an official app store, but to my knowledge, 野良 isn't used in other terms to mean "unauthorised". We have no reference saying that 野良 = "unauthorised". It's not mentioned on ニコニコ大百科's 野良 entry, which has the gaming sense we just added.
Unless we can find other examples, I think the sense should be dropped.

I couldn't see an abbreviation either.
The last 3 senses seem related.
