Description

It will be good if the tns build outputs by default in platforms/output/{android|ios} folder the corresponding deliverable (apk or ipa). Basically maybe a default option for --copyTo argument so that we won't need to provide it every time in order to be able to easily find the result application which is currently located several folders bellow the root of the application platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release for android.

Research direction

Start by tracing the tns build command's --copyTo handling and compare the Android and iOS build output paths mentioned in the issue. Done means a build without --copyTo places the corresponding APK or IPA under platforms/output/{android|ios}, while the existing explicit option continues to work.
