Overriding an App's JSON File in the App Binary

While running the app binary, you can override the app binary's embedded JSON file with another JSON file by using the -app option. This saves you the time and effort of creating a new app binary if you only want to make minor configuration or mapping changes in the app.

To do this, run the following command:

On Windows: <app-filename>-windows_amd64 -app <new JSON file.json>
On Macintosh: <app-filename>-darwin_amd64 -app <new JSON file.json>
On Linux: <app-filename>-linux_amd64 -app <new JSON file.json>

Note: You can make changes in your activities, export the app.json again, and run it with the same binary using the -app option. For example, you can make changes in an existing activity. However, if you add a new activity (of the same category or a different category) and try to run it from the app binary, it does not work.
