title: How to deal with various build types in Xamarin
body: <p>I am moving my Android Studio project over to Xamarin.</p>
  
  <p>Under Android Studio/Gradle, I can have multiple build types. For example, I can create alpha, beta, and release version of the same app: </p>
  
  <pre><code>buildTypes {
      release {
          minifyEnabled false
      }
      beta {
          applicationIdSuffix ".beta"
          debuggable true
      }
      alpha {
          applicationIdSuffix ".alpha"
       }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Gradle lets me modify the application id suffix so that I can install all the variations side by side on the same device.</p>
  
  <p>I noticed that Xamarin lets you specify the package name from Visual Studio --> Project --> Properties --> Android Manifest. However, I need the package name to be different for various build types. How can I achieve this? Regards.</p>
