703080 - we need a way to determine the appname from the apk

This might be solved already; maybe not.

Remote talos and remote unit tests require us to know what the appname of Fennec is.  This covers all Android testing at the moment.

I haven't been able to figure out how to determine what the appname is from an apk (1. download apk, 2. figure out if it's org.mozilla.fennec or org.mozilla.fennec_aurora or ...)

This is ok for the most part, as branding is consistent per branch.
However, this is not true for Try; if you push an aurora or beta changeset to Try without changing the in-tree mozconfig, the appname will change.

I think Try tegras are assuming the appname will be org.mozilla.fennec, so Aurora changesets pushed to Try fail tests.

This brings me back to the summary: we need a way to determine the appname from the apk.  Could we add this to the application.ini or something?

Flagging for triage.

so, as I understand it, you want to be able to get the package name given an apk file. If so, this should let you do that with something like this:

unzip -p fennec-11.0a1.en-US.android-arm.apk  package-name.txt
