For the first step you need to check MockForm.java file present in appengine directory, there you will find some properties which are only for Screen1 follow the same structure for this property (PackageName) also, try this if you are not able then please feel free to ask.

Add your code here for only screen1

    // The AppName property actually applies to the application and is only visible on Screen1.
    case PROPERTY_NAME_ANAME:
    // The ShowListsAsJson property actually applies to the application and is only visible on Screen1.
    case PROPERTY_NAME_SHOW_LISTS_AS_JSON:
    // The TutorialURL property actually applies to the application and is only visible on Screen1.
    case PROPERTY_NAME_TUTORIAL_URL:
    case PROPERTY_NAME_BLOCK_SUBSET:
    case PROPERTY_NAME_PRIMARY_COLOR:
    case PROPERTY_NAME_PRIMARY_COLOR_DARK:
    case PROPERTY_NAME_ACCENT_COLOR:
    case PROPERTY_NAME_THEME:
    case PROPERTY_NAME_DEFAULTFILESCOPE: {
      return editor.isScreen1();
    }


    default: {
      return super.isPropertyVisible(propertyName);
    }
  }
}
