Build Configurations to change MAUI Settings like ApplicationId

We have a MAUI app that I build for iOS and Android. We use this same code base for 5 different apps that talk to different bluetooth hardware we sell.

Each time I switch mobile apps I go into the project properties / App Info and change the Application Title, Application ID and Version values.

I tried manually editing the .csproj file and use the Configuration setting to set up those values in different property groups using the conditions.

I was not able to find a way to select my configurations because the only drop down options that ever showed up on the title bar was Debug and Release.

Is there a "proper" way to do what I am trying to do?

    Hello,

    There is no such configuration, you have to edit the APPID and title information manually in the .csproj file, or in the GUI window of the project's property. And what you did is correct. 

    	<!-- Display name -->
<ApplicationTitle>XXX</ApplicationTitle>
 
	<!-- App Identifier -->
<ApplicationId>XXX</ApplicationId>
 
	<!-- Versions -->
<ApplicationDisplayVersion>XX</ApplicationDisplayVersion>
<ApplicationVersion>X</ApplicationVersion>

    Best Regards,
