Introduction

If you have installed a Developer Extension on your device, you may copy each of the following examples below into the ARchi VR App.

Download the extension content as ZIP file (not needed for Workflow extensions).
Copy the extracted folder to the iCloud Drive/ARchi VR/dev/ folder on your Mac or PC.
Click on the extension resource with the .json filename ending.
Copy the inner element(s) of the JSON list (without the square brackets).
Open the JSON file in iCloud Drive/ARchi VR/dev/ with your preferred editor.
Paste the JSON element(s) to the existing list. Separate the new entries with a comma from the existing ones.
Save the JSON file. All changes will be synchronized to your iOS device via iCloud Drive.
Open ARchi VR and see the added extensions. Downloading the files is enforced automatically and may take some time.
In case the changes are not yet visible on iOS then stop and restart the App or check the iCloud Drive/ARchi VR/dev/ folder in the Files app.

Take the examples as templates to start developing your own AR content. In order to deploy your local AR extensions, copy the files to a Web server and replace in the JSON files all https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/dev/ references in URLs with the URL to the path on your Web server. Send the JSON file in iCloud Drive/ARchi VR/dev/ to support@metason.net in order to let your extension get registered.
