I agree as long as this is optional. Currently my builds are made by Jenkins CI 
for both Linux and iOS apps.
Currently I run qmake and then use the XCode Plugin to build the app like every 
native XCode App. At last I publish it to testflightapp.com.
For android builds, running deployqt automates everything and AFAIK I don’t 
have much control (ant called automatically, etc.).
I would appreciate to deploy from my local dev machine as long as the real 
build can be manual.

Greetings,
Kevin.
