Add a project to AppStudio

RussellTait4

Using Trek2There with AppStudio 2.1, the template available New App/Enterprise is version 1.01.  I have the 3.5.0 version from GitHub downloaded and on my mac desktop - how do I add this to the AppStudio Project Browser - I don't see a way to Import/Open

Short answer = copy the folder of files that you downloaded from github to C:\Users\username7\ArcGIS\AppStudio\Apps. The app will then appear in your AppStudio gallery.

Longer answer (and more appropriate) = dont copy the files from the repo. You really should be using the template that is available in AppStudio. Although you see version 1.0.1, the files that you are creating your app from are based upon Trek2There version 2.0 (you can see this in the side panel of the template when you create your app). The 3.0.x files you see in the repo are currently being changed and will have features in them that you will not be able to use in the currently released AppStudio 2.0. AppStudio 3.0 is on its way, hence we are updating Trek2There to make use of some new features. And when AppStudio 3.0 is released, we will update the template for Trek2There in AppStudio to 3.0.x.

Saying all of this if you really do need to download files from the repo, we recommend you still create an app from the template in AppStudio - this way you get the correct appinfo.json and iteminfo.json files generated - and then copy over the qml files in this folder with the ones you download from github.
