Metadata

To make your branded build exactly as you want, you need to provide a full set of metadata for the app. If you leave out any metadata elements, your app will be built using the default values for those elements, that is, the same values used in the Mobile Faves app distributed by Information Builders.

Type the values into the file app_meta.dat, stored in the base directory of your archive file. Use a name=value format.
