Description
Hello!
I have been using Altstore for a while and it works great for side loading apps on devices. Recently, I want to re-experience the Infinity Blade Series which is no longer on AppStore. The apps worked greatly.
After finished the game, I backed up the app and find that I could export the documents of the app, which is such an amazing function that I could keep my saves with me even I delete the app. But I am wondering is there a way I could import the document I backed up for the app if I want to use the app on another device?
Or is there a way I could pack the documents with the ipa file so that install the repacked ipa will just restore the documents?
Thanks for your help!

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating AltStore’s backup and app-document handling, then determine whether importing documents or packaging them with an IPA is supported; done would require a defined restore path for another device.
