Docker App configurations no longer stored locally for offline use

[jhrabi]

Description

Since 0.5.0, the way that Docker App stores files pulled from a registry has been modified. This has resulted in the consequence that docker-app render can no longer functions offline. Prior to 0.5.0, the docker-app files were stored in the locally on docker as an image, so it could work in offline mode. We need an ability for these files to be cached locally as they were in 0.4.1

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Run docker-app render jhrabi/helloworld.dockerapp:0.1.0 - assuming default docker repo is set to Docker Hub (Based upon https://github.com/jhrabi/docker-app-helloworld)
2. Remove connectivity to Docker Hub (In my case, removed NAT connection from local VM).
3. Run docker-app render jhrabi/helloworld.dockerapp:0.1.0 again

Describe the results you received: (With internet connectivity - first run)

docker-app render jhrabi/helloworld.dockerapp:0.1.0
version: "3.5"
services:
  hello-world:
    image: hello-world

(Without internet connectivity - second run)

docker-app render jhrabi/helloworld.dockerapp:0.1.0
Error: cannot locate application "jhrabi/helloworld.dockerapp:0.1.0" in filesystem or registry: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io on 192.168.96.1:53: read udp 192.168.96.128:47587->192.168.96.1:53: read: connection refused

Describe the results you expected: (Without internet connectivity - second run)

docker-app render jhrabi/helloworld.dockerapp:0.1.0
version: "3.5"
services:
  hello-world:
    image: hello-world

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally): This functionality worked in 0.4.1, when docker images were being stored as local docker images.

Thanks for the report @jhrabi. This was as a result of us manually creating the application package images in docker/app so that they work on Windows.

We will fix this but I unfortunately don't have an ETA yet.
