Hi friends, Can anyone help me understand the difference between MOZ_APP_VERSION and MOZ_APP_VERSION_DISPLAY?
I see that in our AndroidManifest, we use MOZ_APP_VERSION to set our Android version name [1]. However, this means that for beta, we display the number version, without the "b" bit, e.g. "47.0". Looking at about:firefox [2], for example, I see that we use the MOZ_APP_VERSION_NAME property to display a number that includes the beta version, e.g. "47.0b2". It actually seems like beta is the only channel where version.txt [3] and version_display.txt [4] differ. Why is that? This question is motivated by the fact that we use the Android version name (MOZ_APP_VERSION) for our switchboard match condition [5]. This means that for beta we can't match on a specific beta version, which is what I want to do to test a "What's New" notification (i.e. don't create a new notification for users every time their beta build updates). The simplest change I can see to address this situation is to update our Android version name to use MOZ_APP_VERSION_DISPLAY instead of MOZ_APP_VERSION, but I don't know what repercussions that may have. Alternately, I could update our switchboard logic to use the MOZ_APP_VERSION value, but right now there's nothing Mozilla-specific in the switchboard code, and it would be great to keep it that way.
