I had suggested that the application builder include a Splash Stack method that inserted a default splash stack, but allowed you to substitute your own in the process of building the app. The Splash Stack would become the default main stack for the projects and would be modified to call the actual mainstack before compilation. 

It was not received with much enthusiasm, but perhaps this would be the optimum solution. It could be an option you could turn off if you wanted but enabled by default.

Lots of recommended workarounds of course but this is something you don't typically find out about until well down the development path (at least I didn't) because it's not a problem when working in the IDE,  and it can mean fairly major changes to your application.
