Different App Name/Image in Several Environments

When we install the same application on devices from different environments, it is difficult to differentiate which environment it belongs to. We always need to open the app to validate which environment it belongs to.


It would be interesting to be able to manipulate the name of the application without impacting the deployment between environments, that is, without having to change the name of the application when we deploy to production.


Or for example, the image of the application has a layer in the development environments that allows us to distinguish quickly.

Yes! This would be so useful! 

It is very difficult to understand which environment the applications belong to! 

I try to organize them from left to right, from development to production, but sometimes it does not work very well...

Yes, this would be useful if it came out of the box from the platform.

As workarounds what I do is:

  1. In the mobile device create different folders for the apps of the different environments, for example: 1-DEV, 2-TST, and 3-PRD.
    As soon as I install one app from one of the environments move it immediately to the correspondent folder. In this way, the apps have the same name, same icon, but it is possible to easily choose the one that we want to start.
  2. Use any kind of mechanism that the app is able to understand to use environment is connected and present that information in the splash screen or any other screens, like a green tag for DEV, yellow tag for TST, and red tag or no tag for PRD.
