Answer 1

Actually... For a more definitive explanation;

In main build.gradle :

ext {
    APP_NAME = "My Fabulous App"
    APP_NAME_DEBUG = "My Fabulous App debug"
}

In app build.gradle :

android {
    buildTypes {
        debug {
            manifestPlaceholders = [appName: APP_NAME_DEBUG]
        }
        release {
            manifestPlaceholders = [appName: APP_NAME]
        }
    }
}

so in AndroidManifest.xml

is possible. Voilà! you have different application names for release and debug.
