React-native-code-push: Start app in Android emulator failed when set applicationIdSuffix in gradle config as "Multi-Deployment Testing" saied.

[jaggerwang]

Steps to Reproduce

1. modify android project config as "Multi-Deployment Testing".
2. run app in android emulator from command line using "react-native run-android".
3. there has error in console "Error type 3nError: Activity class {com.bicisims.sm/com.bicisims.sm.MainActivity} does not exist.".

Expected Behavior

App running in emulator

Actual Behavior

Start app in emulator failed.

But when remove "applicationIdSuffix" in "app/build.gradle", the app running ok.

And there is another problem, I must add "matchingFallbacks = ['release', 'debug']" in releaseStaging config to make gradle works right. Otherwise it will fail like the following.

[EvianZhow]

This is caused by using application id suffix, while the run-android command still executing the original one.
Check here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/d8f23f79c736812c6da2af5a637eb29bf62510e4
Specifying --appIdSuffix [string] when you doing the run-android thing fixes this.

Hi @jaggerwang, sorry for delay.
Could you please try solution that @EvianZhow offered.
Please let me know any results!

[jaggerwang]

Still the same.

[EvianZhow]

Additional . assigned. --appIdSuffix debug should be just enough.

@jaggerwang
Just a friendly ping, any result?

[jaggerwang]

Yes, it's working. Thanks!

[iTOYS]

Awesome!
