1811448 - Expose GeckoView channel to be used in UI tests configurations

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: General, task)

Description

[Oana Horvath [:ohorvath - out of office]]

Having the GeckoView channel available in tests (from maybe a BuildConfig property) would allow the QA team to conditionally execute it or not. The scope is to only run a UI test on GeckoView Nightly, not Beta or Release, depending on its availability.

Based on discussions with @gl and @csadilek the plan is to update the EngineVersion [1] class to also contain the information about the release channel which is set at compile time in GeckoView.
