Auto detecting the project's platform

All commands (init, setup and switch) are capable of detecting your mobile project's platform (iOS or Android). However, you can specify a platform directly, with option --platform <value> where value is either ios or android.

# Auto detection will happen
$ variants <command>

# Platform is specified, skip auto detection
$ variants <command> --platform ios
$ variants <command> --platform android

There are 2 cases when platform auto detection will present a problem.
