How to build a standalone application programmatically in R2019a?

In the current MATLAB Compiler documentation there is a section on how to "Create Standalone Application Using Application Compiler App" that includes instructions on how to do this programmatically (e.g., "Create Standalone Application Using Application Compiler App"). Similar instructions do not exist in the R2019a documentation and I can't find any documentation on an alternative. Is it possible to build a standalone application programmatically in R2019a, or am I relegated to using the GUI only?

i just clicked on your 2019a doc link and saw that page 1-6 has the section titled "Create Standalone Application Using Application Compiler App"

There is the section "Create Standalone Application Using Application Compiler App", but it lacks any instructions on how to do it programmatically. It only contains GUI-based instructions.

I never use the GUI app, deploytool, to compile me apps. I always have a script where I call mcc programmatically because I want to do things, like ask the user (myself) if they've updated the version number, perhaps ask which m-files to compile (if there is a whole suite of them), time how long the compilation takes, and things like that. I have a script called compile.m and in there I call mcc to do the compilation programmatically, along with other things.

Thanks! This is what I was looking for. I have a few follow-on questions.

1. Is there a way to fill in the "Additional Information" such as Author Name, Company Name, Description, Email, etc.?
2. Is there a way to suppress the extra output files mccExcludedFiles.log and readme.txt?
