    Appify takes a shell script as its first argument:

    Note that you cannot rename appified apps. If you want to give your app
    a custom name, use the second argument:
    # test minimal argument
    if [ -z "${script}" ]; then
    echo "# no input script provided!"
    echo -e ${usage} >&2
    exit 1
