Adding a folder when building an standalone application

Hi, I am creating a .exe for a main file, when run, opens a app, where a button call's a .m file (myfile.m). using command

MAIN FILE (trail.mlapp). Part of the .mlapp file.

function ButtonPushed(app,event)
     
run myfile.m
     
closereq

end

This myfile.m also calls an another app in the middle (just an matlab app) not the exe. For this app to execute properly (to avoid shadowing), It asked me to create a folder (let's say X) and put the matlab app related files in there.

Now while creating a .exe file, I am not able to add the folder X. Is there anyway to do it.

I looked up in some previous answers, they said

if isdeployed
  fid = fopen(fullfile(ctfroot,'myfolder','myfile.dat'))
end

But I don't know where to place this piece of code, whether in myfile.m or my main file for which I am creating the executable.

I am calling the inner app using this following commands

APPINFO  = matlab.apputil.install('./X/Recomm')
matlab.apputil.run('RecommAPP')

Are you trying to run a piece of code that is not available when the application is created but is specified at runtime?

Yes. Exactly.

You cannot have a standalone application run code that was not compiled into the application when it was created. From the documentation "The MATLAB Runtime only works on MATLAB code that was encrypted when the deployable archive was built. Any function or process that dynamically generates new MATLAB code will not work against the MATLAB Runtime."
