The first one actually doesn't do what you think. Thats just an Info.plist flag so that the Finder doesn't try to launch the application if you find and double click it. iOS ignores it completely (in this case iPhone environment just means iOS, the flag is a hold over from before the OS had an official name).
The second one does what you needed done.

There are almost certainly places where this could be made better, so please file a bug report asking that things like this be made easier.
