I stand corrected. It is there. Thanks everyone. That may end up the solution.

But no, there is not an app.xml in the IPA or APK outside of the binary file within the package. The app descriptor file is compiled into the AIR executable within the IPA/APK package. It's not accessible in the enclosing package (zip) file. I'll just parse Info.plist and manifest.xml to get this info at runtime. It's not a big deal. Just figured some bright Apache warrior engineer thought of adding a configuration utility to Flex to retrieve runtime info from the app package like the Platform utility (which is awesome by the way, thanks to whomever did that).

This is static, build-time data. Our branding process takes the IPA, unzips it, changes the bundle_id in Info.plist, changes app name, and lots of other stuff. Then it zips back up and signs with certs and publishes to iTunes Connect. Reading app descriptor is reading the original bundle_id from compile time. Thanks though.
