Generate .mlapp file from .proj file?

Hello all,

I've build an app that runs locally on my computer using the Matlab Runtime Compiler through deploytool. It works nicely and behaves how I expect it to. Upon opening the app, the user is prompted to select a data file from their file directory, and then the data is displayed in multiple plots in figures using Matlab's plot function. Each figure generated has multiple interactive uicontrol elements. When building the app, a .proj file was generated. I would like to generate my app as a Matlab Web App. Is it possible to generate a .mlapp file using a .proj file, or generate a .mlapp file with the .m file that contains all of the backend callback functions and handles? I took a look at the Migrating GUIDE Apps to App Designer module, but it looks like it expects a .fig GUIDE file, rather than either the .m file or the .proj file that I have.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Can you explain how .proj file was generated. Apps built on GUIDE genarte .fig and .m files.
