Have the CLI manage project properties

See original GitHub issue

This came up from a discussion in https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/issues/145.

Basically it would be nice to be able to configure properties about your app in either your app/package.json or your .tnsproject file, and have those changes propagate to the appropriate places in the platform-specific config files. All of these are things AppBuilder does with its .abproject file, and it would be nice to have a few of those in the NativeScript CLI. At the moment the four specific things I’m looking for are:

Display name ("DisplayName" in .abproject).
Id ("AppIdentifier" in .abproject)
Version ("BundleVersion" in .abproject)
Android version ("AndroidVersionCode" in .abproject)

id is already set in .tnsproject, but to my knowledge you can’t configure the rest of these things without changing iOS/Android config files manually.

@enchev I think we’re all set here. The already implemented solution is exactly what I was looking for when I created this issue. I didn’t realize this was still open actually 😄

Unless others have more requirements worth mentioning, feel free to close this issue.

At the moment you can configure anything for the app using Info.plist and AndroidManifest.xml in App_Resources folder and you do not have to edit anything in the platforms folder. What’s the thinking now? Is this enough or we need something else?

Hey @tjvantoll @atanasovg @hshristov @PanayotCankov what do you think?
