Description
A suggestion from @karawoo in #279 to make the top-level app.R a simple function call.
I feel that we should proceed with this or not depending on whether we think it's easier for people new to the codebase to comprehend the organization of the app. It might be better to stick more closely to "shiny app" conventions than "R package" conventions.

Research direction
Start by reading the top-level app.R and the suggestion in issue #279, then inspect how the Runtime Version Scanner is currently organized. The issue does not identify package files or tests; done would require an agreed decision about whether to move the app into an exported package function and leave app.R as a simple call.
