I use Flipper on daily basis with default and custom plugins. One annoying thing I always face whenever I have Android build types is, Flipper only shows one build at a time with my app name e.g. MyFlipperAppName. Irrespective if I'm running debug, feature, alpha, or beta build, it is always displayed as one application with App Name. If I have to cross-check some issue across different builds, I have to kill one build type and open the other to be able to connect with the Flipper.
Alternative:
Having different App name for different build types seem to work. For Example MyFlipperAppName-dev, MyFlipperAppName-alpha etc.
Proposal:
It would be great if the flipper could work with the package id since it's pretty common to have different package ids while in the development phase. Also, different package id makes it a unique app and can be installed parallel on an Android device.
The same was possible with the Stetho.
