Editing the PkgInfo:
There are two ways to edit the PkgInfo for an app.
Option 1. Upload your own PkgInfo file
- Click "Choose File".
- Follow the prompts to upload your own PkgInfo file.
Option 2. Edit the existing PkgInfo file.

Enabling custom attribute support:
To enable custom attribute processing for custom PkgInfo files, check the box labeled "Enable attribute support".
