I don't think there's much difference between the desktop method and 
mobile apps. You just compile the main stack for mobile instead of for 
desktop.

The headaches aren't in the scripts so much as the mobile-specific 
requirements like getting provisioning from Apple, or signed keys for 
Android, or monkeying around with screen sizes and resolutions and app 
permissions, or butting up against store restrictions. I'm not sure 
there's a good way to provide a template for that sort of thing, it all 
depends on the app behavior and layout.
