Description

The docs say that an Orientation preference is supposed to work across all platforms. However, Android's activities can only be locked to an orientation by modifying the AndroidManifest.xml.

To get past this, we either change the docs, or we support this in the CLI. I feel that adding an XML parser to the scripts is complete overkill, since we don't have any tests for our platform scripts, and I personally think they're a giant pile of technical debt.
