[HOLD for payment 22/08/23] [$1000] Enable developers to install multiple app variants simultaneously

[Julesssss]

P/S from @mczernek

Problem

As a developer when working on mobile applications I cannot have two versions of the App being installed at the same time, even when one of them is staging and the other is a production app. I want to be able to have a production app installed at all times and simultaneously install new versions of the app I am working on. I want to be able to easily distinguish between both installed apps.

Solution

Both iOS and Android prevent users from having the same app installed twice on the device. This is determined by bundleID on iOS and applicationID on Android. In order to have multiple apps we need to alter their ids.

• [x] Agree on the environments which will be split into separate apps @mczernek @Julesssss
• [x] Set up new internal Firebase apps @Julesssss
• [x] Configure the Android app package ID, name, and app icon @mczernek
• [x] Configure the iOS app buildSchemes, bundleID, name, and app icon @mczernek
• [x] [Android only] The Main page icon shows Dev for the AdHoc builds:
• [x] Figure out the dev build pipeline, do contributors need to change their workflow? @Julesssss
• [x] Document the various Android build flavours to make this clearer to the team @Julesssss
• [x] Share this change with the internal engineers and wider contributor team @Julesssss
• [x] Deprecate the old AdHoc provisioning profile and identifier @Julesssss
• [x] Confirm we should point to staging envfor the AdHoc build @Julesssss
• [x] Question about the type of iOS profile I used for AdHoc builds
• [x] Create follow-up issue for installing AdHoc Desktop apps side-by-side

help not wanted, just adding @twisterdotcom to help with C+ payment

[twisterdotcom]

Do I need to send some payments now? I don't think I need to as @allroundexperts is reimbursed via newDot and @staszekscp is from SWM

[Julesssss]

Not yet @twisterdotcom, just doing this now before I forget. Once merged I'll switch it to weekly

[twisterdotcom]

Apologies but I am finally going on Parental Leave. I am reassigning to another member of the team.

Triggered auto assignment to @mallenexpensify (NewFeature), see https://stackoverflowteams.com/c/expensify/questions/14418#:~:text=BugZero%20process%20steps%20for%20feature%20requests for more details.

[melvin-bot[bot]]

Triggered auto assignment to Design team member for new feature review - @dannymcclain (NewFeature)

[twisterdotcom]

Ahh @dannymcclain - we assign Designers to every NewFeature labelled issue. You'll find there are tonnes of false positives, but for now, we just wanted to make sure Design caught anything that needed tweaking. Open to ideas for change though.

I'd usually unassign Shawn from something like this, but I'll leave you on it so you can see what all the fuss is about.

[Julesssss]

Ready for payment on the 22nd

[dannymcclain]

@twisterdotcom Gotcha, thanks for the info! Looks to me like everything is all set here.

Regressions:

• https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/25643

[Julesssss]

Not a regression, that's a new logo for the dev env.

[mallenexpensify]

@Julesssss who is due payment here and how much? My guess is $1000 each to @staszekscp , @mczernek and @allroundexperts but want to be sure

[Julesssss]

@allroundexperts for the review, but the feature was implemented by SWM, not contributors.

[allroundexperts]

I got paid here

[roryabraham]

All done then?

[Julesssss]

Yeah, the two remaining tasks have their own issue for tracking purposes:

• https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/314417
• https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/312729
