Parsing or decoding .pluginPayloadAttachment files?
Solution 1:
The pluginPayloadAttachment
extension doesn't actually convey the type of the file, unfortunately. Depending on the file, you may be able to glean the type from the byte data it begins with. Some common types you might run into are listed here:
Byte Array | Type |
---|---|
