Description

Example: If you have this in tiapp.xml:

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 <manifest>
  <application android:debuggable="true"/>
 </manifest>
</android>

... that debuggable attribute doesn't make it to AndroidManifest.xml. But if you add in something else under manifest in tiapp.xml, it does:

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 <manifest>
  <application android:debuggable="true"/>
    <supports-screens 
            android:smallScreens="false"
            android:normalScreens="true"
            android:largeScreens="true"
            android:anyDensity="true"
        />

 </manifest>
</android>

To test:

Create app and put this in tiapp.xml (replace the android section therein with this):
```
   <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <manifest>
     <application android:debuggable="true"/>
    </manifest>
   </android>
   
```
Launch the app (don't worry about what the app does / looks like, that's all irrelevant.)

After the app has launched, open the generated file build/android/AndroidManifest.xml. Find the <application> node in that xml file. In the failcase, you'll see android:debuggable="false". When fixed, you'll see it as true.

Bill this failed for me in 2.1 Sim [INFO] Titanium SDK version: 1.5.0 (12/10/10 15:05 f08319c)

   <application
       android:icon="@drawable/appicon"
       android:label="simple"
       android:name="SimpleApplication"
       android:debuggable="false"
   >
       <activity
           android:name=".SimpleActivity"

Eh? Good, you proved the fail case. Now test with master. ;) (It wasn't meant for 1.5.0)
