Export or Import appConfig.json

Easily import the configuration settings and all source assets from another app within your organization account to the currently open app. You may also manually Edit/Import/Export the internal appConfig.json configuration file for your app. If you need to duplicate an existing app we recommend using the "Clone" functionality available in the top menu.

Overview

The appConfig.json file is a key-value datastore containing the full configuration of your app. The configuration include/but is not limited to the following key components:

• App and branding assets: Icons, logos, and visual elements.
• Interface settings: UI configurations and user interface properties.
• Native plugin configurations: Platform-specific settings and integrations.

You can import configurations and assets from another app within your organization to streamline development or manually edit, import, or export the appConfig.json file for advanced customization.

Editing appConfig.json

You can edit the appConfig.json file manually using one of the two methods below

• App Studio: Provides an intuitive interface to modify settings.
• Source Code: Enables direct access to the JSON file in your preferred IDE.

❗️

Manual edits to the appConfig.json

Always ensure that the JSON syntax is valid when making manual edits. Invalid JSON can cause errors or crashes. Use a JSON validator and/or linter to verify the file.

Troubleshooting

Why is my app crashing at launch?

The most likely cause of this issue is a syntax error in your app's configuration.

This is more likely if you are editing your appConfig.json app configuration file directly through your app's source code, though it could also happen if you've edited your app's configuration via the Build & Export section via our App Studio. Most importantly, your app's configuration file must be a valid JSON.

If your appConfig.json is valid, and your app is still crashing on launch, please contact our support team.
