Again, not allowed by Apple, so I would rather not waste time with this. + The current implementation is probably not how we would want to extend our tooling. Shoe-horning a cli plugin into the runtime plugin definition is interesting, but fragile.
Ultimately this is optimizing 1% of the process of building an application, I would much rather see focus on the 99% that is developing and testing ... Additionally, having this functionality available on Android (the only place it will work) and not on other platforms will just confuse users, I would rather skip it all together. Documenting the steps required to submit an app to each app store however, is an awesome idea, and seemingly a requirement of this work anyway, so why not just do that first?
