How do you upload a .cup file to iGlide now that iTunes has changed

The new iTunes doesn't seem to communicate with apps anymore, which is how I used to upload .cup files to my phone for iGlide.
Anybody know how it's done these days?
Appears that iGlide has been sold to another outfit. I don't seem to be able to find a forum for iGlide, either....

In iTunes 12.7, Apple changed where you find shared files for those apps using them. Start up iTunes, plug in your iPhone. Click on the iPhone icon near the upper left corner of the window next to the drop down menu for Music, etc. In the navigation bar that appears on the left side, click on File Sharing. You be presented with all apps the support file sharing in the window on the right. iGlide should appear there, click on it, revealing all files shared with iGlide. Drag your .cup file into that window. When done, eject the phone with the eject icon near the top. Restart iGlide on the iPhone.. It should come up with a dialog asking if you want to incorporate new files. That's it - it's actually a bit easier than it was before. While you are in there, you may want to drag all of the .xml files out to a folder on your computer (this backs them up in case you want to restore them at some later date). The .xml files are plain text, and can be edited for much more configurability in iGlide (though this isn't documented, it is pretty much self documenting if you have any programming experience).
iGlide is still owned by Air Avionics (at least they still claim it on their website). The developer is shown in the App Store as Butterfly, but Butterfly and Air Avionics are one and the same - they merged and/or changed names a couple of years ago. There has never been an iGlide forum that I am aware of.
