Getting package name conflict with different application ids of the same app

Question

I have an app with two flavors, each with a unique application id, according to the docs this is how to install both versions of the app on the same phone. But I keep getting the package name conflict error while I try to install either of them while the other one is already installed

Flavor settings

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.kc.mb.vr"
    multiDexEnabled true
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 26
    versionCode 14
    setProperty("archivesBaseName", "vr4.25.1")
}

flavorDimensions "default"


productFlavors {
    dev {
        versionName "4.25.1"
        applicationId "com.kc.mb.vr.dev"        
        dimension "default"

    }
    prod {
        applicationId "com.kc.mb.vr"        
        versionName "3.1.2"
        dimension "default"
    }
}

After installing, I checked with the package name viewer that shows the app with the dev flavor has a packagename + ".dev" and the one with prod has a different package name. But both of them can not be installed together.

Is there any step that I might have missed ?

例如，以您的开发人员风格，删除applicationId "com.kc.mb.vr"并添加以下代码： applicationIdSuffix ".dev"然后您开发人员的程序包名称将为“ com.kc.mb.vr.dev”
