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?

MOZ_APP_VERSION contains only the major version.
I introduced MOZ_APP_VERSION_DISPLAY for several reasons:
* to have the number of beta installs in telemetry (buildid are more complex to use)
* show it in about:support
* show it in the about dialog

This is only different in beta because it is the only place where we have different versions on the same release channel.
(nightly is XXa1, aurora YYa2, etc)

Hope this helps,
Sylvestre
