**Arguments**

`<descriptor>`

* A complete native application descriptor (ex: `myapp:android:1.0.0`), representing the native application version associated to this binary.

`<pathToBinary>`

* Relative or absolute path to the binary to add to the binary store. For an `Android` binary the path should point to a `.apk` file, whereas of `iOS` it should point to a `.app`.
