Wish Compiler Directive #ApplicationName

[Derek Johnson]

I'd like to see a new Compiler Directive #ApplicationName.

The specified name would be that which was installed on the connected device.

This would enable a single project to be able to install multiple different APKs on the same device in the development phase.

Obviously when you go to production you can install any APK into any production product in Google Play Store, but this is during the development phase.

#Region  Project Attributes

    #ApplicationLabel: RELEASE APK
#Else If SpecialBuild
    #ApplicationLabel: SpecialBuild APKl
#Else If Debug
    #ApplicationLabel: Debug APK
#End If
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False

#End Region

Use the Commandline builder to build a specific build based on the buildconfigurations.

Thanks Don. I'll look into using the command line builder as you suggest.

I just noticed that you can create different package names under Build Configurations. So I could create a distinct App based on this. This isn't quite the same as being able to conditionally create a different package name, but is very useful.
