Is it good practice to use unique app IDs for each test build of an app in Flutter?

I am currently building a flutter application for android and ios; For a better testing experience, our team wants to have a unique application id for each testing build. I just want to know if it is possible to do this automatically and whether it is good practice. Have anyone of you done this before? If so, how did you satisfy this case?

    Using different application IDs for each build would cause problems. For example, third party services like Firebase requires you to register your application ID on their side.

    You should use version number or build version for this purpose.

    It is "possible" but not good practice.

    But, on many occasions, we use different ids for production and development (or testing). I have never seen projects that use other ids for different versions. You can use tools like this: flavors.

    it is not advisable to have a unique application id for each testing build. However, you could always change the app version number and build number per testing build.

    You could also setup flavours for your app such that the testing build has a different application id from the production app.
