`application` field for Fenix Nightly just shows "fenix" instead of "org.mozilla.fenix"

[travis79]

Since the SDK matches the application field against the application_id that is passed in during init, it is expecting the same bundle identifier that is used by the Play Store. This is the only way that channels are currently encoded in mobile that we can target them.

Ah okay this is conflating application and channel. What you're looking for here is channel:

https://github.com/mozilla/experimenter/blob/main/app/experimenter/experiments/constants/nimbus.py#L105-L107

which is exposed in the DTO as channel:

https://github.com/mozilla/nimbus-shared/blob/main/types/experiments.ts#L25

Example in the fenix experiment targeting Fenix Nightly on stage:

@jaredlockhart Let's go with application in the DTO being org.mozilla.fenix – it makes more sense given the way applications are set up from a targeting perspective (although not in the UI)
