Different app icon for each configuration

For my app I want to have two different versions (live and dev). The version will be build with a different build configuration.

What I want to achieve is to have a different app icon shown on the device depending on which version/build configuration I used. I already have searched for solutions but only found some which advices to use different Manifests/csproj but I can't go with this approach.

So is there any other way to have different icons depending on the configuration?

Your best bet is to remove the icon config from the manifest and add it to your MainActivity.

It will look like this:

using Android.App;
using Android.Content.PM;
using Android.OS;
using Microsoft.Practices.Unity;
using Prism.Unity;

namespace BlankApp2.Droid
{

#if DEBUG
    [Activity(Label = "Debug BlankApp2", Icon = "@drawable/debugIcon", Theme = "@style/MainTheme", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation)]
#else
    [Activity(Label = "Prod BlankApp2", Icon = "@drawable/prodIcon", Theme = "@style/MainTheme", MainLauncher = true, ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation)]
#endif
    public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
    {
        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
        {
            TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
            ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;

            base.OnCreate(bundle);

            global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle);
            LoadApplication(new App(new AndroidInitializer()));
        }
    }

    public class AndroidInitializer : IPlatformInitializer
    {
        public void RegisterTypes(IUnityContainer container)
        {
            // Register any platform specific implementations
        }
    }
}
