Added Local as well as beta for when testing local features. #94

Needs new loader image though.

My original thought was two versions would be good. End users would use the store version, and developers the beta. But now I'm seeing a third case, which is what you may be hinting at. You'd like the beta version as an end-user, plug a local version as a developer. Is that what this is? I'm going to think on it some. |

@Fammy yes, this was trying to be that 3rd version. I was thinking most users would have main store. Since they all share the main codebase, it seemed to work quick well. |
|
Just in case, this is what my SDK manager shows: Maybe there is something i've got different. |
Maybe Eclipse did it?
|
@Fammy I think eclipse is to blame. |
|
Got it! |

Been thinking on this some more. I'm inclined to not accept this on the basis of simplicity. If you are savvy enough to be in the code, you can just build the beta (or prod) app. I've not had the store version installed for months. With this change, I uninstalled what is now the prod version, and only need beta. You could dev on the "prod" version and still keep the beta store install. Thoughts? |

I do not think we need more than two "official" versions. The store and a develop/beta version to squish bugs before a larger roll-out. I know I am in the minority, but I run the most recent develop/beta build on my Nexus 7 and the latest store version on my phone. I find this sufficient to keep up with what end-users are experiencing and what the next build is capable of. I like the idea of being able to run the store version and develop/beta build side-by-side, but I am not sure it is necessary. |

Not everyone has the luxury of owning two devices. My ultimate goal is a store beta, which is now very possible with my recent commit. 8) |

I am still not sure how I feel about a second app in the store for betas. I would rather push updates faster to end users after a day or two of running it through the paces. I think a second app in the store will only slow the progress. |
|
The more I think about it, the worse I feel about it, feel free just to close the request. |
|
Don't feel bad. You are probably in a unique situation that many others aren't =) |

@Fammy not sure if this is a good idea or not, but would mean you can test features without having to uninstall the existing app(s)?
Though i may have just done the export to run on my device wrong.
What do you think?
p.s. not 100% sure if this will work.
