Cloning applications¶
In the mobile development process, it is common to clone applications. For instance, you may want
to build a custom branded project whose resources may vary according to the needs of the client.
Thanks to NeoMAD URS parameters, it is very easy to achieve this goal.
The application identifier tag¶
The <parameters> section of the URS can have an <applicationidentifier> tag. This tag is
optional and its default value is the <packagename> tag value. It serves as a unique identifier
for the application and can be used to build different applications from the same project.
The value of this tag must be a full Java-language-style package name for the application. The name
should be unique and may contain uppercase or lowercase letters ('A' through 'Z'), numbers and
underscores ('_'). However, individual package name parts may only start with letters.
Note
To avoid conflicts with other developers, you should use Internet domain ownership as the basis for your package names (in reverse). For example, applications published by Neomades start with com.neomades.
