# package details such as id, title and icon

​

Fields

• id (string, required): A unique identifier used to identify the application package. This identifier is expected to be unique across the Amazon Appstore. By convention, this identifier is used as a prefix to namespace all other ids in the package. This identifier is used to manage the lifecycle for the application packages, and must not be changed to ensure updates work seamlessly. The identifier string must follow these rules:
  • Allowed characters: uppercase letters A-Z, lowercase letters a-z, digits 0-9, dot . and underscore _.
  • Use reverse DNS notation , with minimum of 2 segments where each segment starts with a letter.
    // Valid identifiers
    id = "com.foo.bar"
    id = "de.fooz"
    
    // Invalid identifiers
    id = "a_single_word"
    id = "1numeral.foo"
    

• title (string, required): A user visible string for the name of the app. Two types are supported:
  • Hard-coded title: The title should be short to fit within a display tile without truncation.
    // Recommended
    title = "Foo App"
    
    // Not recommended
    title = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit"
    
  • Localized title: Allows different titles based on language. To use the locale feature, follow these requirements:
    • The title string must be declared in this format: - where the @text is a reserved keyword, and the title_asset_id is a non-empty resource identifier you define. title = @text/ is not allowed.
    • When the title string is defined as a localized title, the default title string must be defined in the puff.json file under assets/text under the package root.
      // Sample localized title
      title = "@text/sample_title"
      
      // Sample title resource under assets/text/puff.json:
      {
          "resources": {
              "sample_title": "Sample Title Content To Display"
          },
          "dir": "ltr"
      }
      
• icon (string, required): Image file to be used as the icon for the app within the Settings -> Applications -> Managed Installed Applications screen.
  • Required format: - where @image is a reserved keyword, and icon_file_name is the name of the image file saved under assets/image.
  • Required resolution and format: 512x512, PNG
  • Maximum file size: 1MB
  • Recommended style: light colored solid icons provide optimal visuals in the Settings menu
