Just in case if, like me, anyone has been struggling to get their Tier 1 AppGameKit app to interface with Aura I thought I'd post how I got it to work.
1] Create a Config.xml file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MetadataInfo xmlns:xsi="http://www.LenovoAlpha.com/2012/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.LenovoAlpha.com/2012/XMLSchema">
<AppID>D764B8B0-7582-4A65-BF74-E6436FC63F07</AppID>
<AppType>Game</AppType>
<Internationalization>
<Language key="en-US">
<AppName>The Mothernode</AppName>
<Description>4 Player Sci-Fi Maze Race</Description>
</Language>
<Language key="zh-CN">
<AppName></AppName>
<Description></Description>
</Language>
</Internationalization>
<ReservedField></ReservedField>
</MetadataInfo>
but
NOTE the App ID must be unique (I created mine in SharpDevelop).
2] Create a 128x128 Icon.png
3] Download Inno Setup from
here.
4] Use this Inno Setup script to generate the installer:
[Setup]

Obviously change the name of the app to yours and add any additional files as required, but I've tried this and my app now fully integrates with the Aura interface.
Good luck guys!
