    launch-type = "singleton"
    categories = ["com.amazon.category.main", "com.amazon.category.kepler.media"]
   
    [[extras]]
    ## `interface.provider` designates a component 
    ## that provides implementation of certain interfaces
    key = "interface.provider"
    ## Declares the component that provides the implementation of the interfaces.
    ## This component must be defined under [[components.interactive]] and includes
    ## "com.amazon.category.kepler.media" in its categories.
    component-id="<packageId>.main"
   
    [extras.value.application]
    ## Declare support for Vega Channel
    [[extras.value.application.interface]]
    interface_name = "com.amazon.kepler.media.IChannelServer"
    features = ["ChannelList"]
   
    ## Hardcode ChannelList attribute to [] since we use Vega EPG Provider to provide channel data
    [extras.value.application.interface.static-values]
    ChannelList = []
   

   Details about the two categories added for the main interactive component:

   • com.amazon.category.main declares the component as the default interactive component for the app package.
