To be honest I suggest that you simply build your own appimage entirely made out of dummy data (empty files?) as that will be both smaller and less of a hassle. e.g. with your hello appimage you also need to include AppRun.c since that is also part of the image, which is avoidable by simply packing a dummy AppRun instead of the actual binary one. Equally the icon inside has unclear license as I can't find it in the hello source. tldr: make own appimage, avoid all the pain :) HS
