Hello @rnahasnahasuddin

  1. Rename and Extract:
  • Rename the .nupkg file to .zip.
  • Use a ZIP tool (like 7-Zip) to extract its contents.
  1. Explore lib Folder:
  • Look for a lib folder in the extracted contents.
  • Find XML files in subfolders representing activity versions.
  1. Manual Update:
  • Manually copy XML files to your project’s appropriate location.
  1. Check Compatibility:
  • Ensure your Studio version is compatible with the custom activities.

Thanks & Cheers!!!

Here after extracting the custom activity , there is no such subfolder representing the activity versions.

  1. Change the Extension:

    • Rename the .nupkg file to have a .zip extension. NuGet packages are essentially ZIP archives.

  2. Extract the Contents:

    • Extract the contents of the ZIP file using any ZIP extraction tool. You can use built-in tools on your operating system or third-party tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR.

  3. Locate Activities and XML Files:

    • Once extracted, navigate through the folders to find the activities and XML files. Custom activities and their metadata are typically stored in the lib folder, and XML files may be present in other directories.

  4. View XML Files:

    • Open the XML files with a text editor to view their contents. These XML files often contain information about the activity, such as its properties, dependencies, and other configurations.

cheers!
