I agree as well, but I still don't see any better way to specify those things. Looks like we could change the role of config.xml extending it beyond runtime preferences or we need another/better place. Another potential drawback of using config.xml is security risks since this file is distributed as-is along with the app binaries. But I also see how it is easy to use and does not require new knowledge (no need for new settings files). Thoughts? New thread to discuss this? - since I see there could be many new similar settings in the future and we need a way to define them
As an idea we can introduce new <build> settings in config.xml which will be automatically removed during build so not available in runtime. Thx!

These are in the same vein as app icons, where they go in the "CLI" config.xml, not the "runtime" config.xml.
