Why not change the status bar color in the drop down menu?

In the app settings file under "Deployment" there is a drop down for the status bar color (http://i.imgur.com/HyEQ8hF.png). Why not change it there instead of manually making a custom target?

In that setting, you only have two options. By manually doing it, you can set the color to pretty much anything. Also, you might want to use different settings inside your app in different views, learning this would teach you how to do that.
