App.xml Stub File

If you’ve ever created an AIR for Mobile project, you’ll know that the default -app.xml file provided is pretty gross. Everytime I start a new project I hit this same issue, and have to clean out all the junk, so this is mainly a reference for myself :)

The file contains Retina support for iOS, Internet Permission for Android debugging, and the 3 icon sizes you’ll need.
