it's your OEMs design choices that make it a problem
I know this, but all Chinese-brand Android phones have the same design as the above screenshot!
I don't like unnecessary app name suffixes
Mozilla team adds different prefixes (Beta, Nightly) to Firefox for Android names, to help their users to differentiate builds in the "Autofill service management" view.
Some people would like to add prefix, otherwise don't. Why don't we have a build option to solve this problem?
If someone is building from source they should patch the app_name
string themselves to take care of the issue. Build time options exist to separate officially supported configurations, which this is not.
The debug app ships a different app icon to prevent this confusion, it's your OEMs design choices that make it a problem. I don't like unnecessary app name suffixes and especially not for a longer app name where it will never be visible in most situations where the app icon will exist.
