How to set up your iPhone project to use a separate beta app icon

Question

I am trying to ensure that the application icon will differ in the lines that I send to my beta testers, in that the application that will be sent for approval. This will allow me and my beta testers to easily identify the application as a beta.

I was not sure that I should add the assembly script to change info.plist and change the application icon indicated there. For this, I assume that I will have to conditionally check the type of assembly (DEBUG / RELEASE / DISTRIBUTION, etc.) and write the corresponding value to the plist file.

As an alternative, I thought that I might need to create a separate target for beta versions and specify a new BETA application icon there.

If anyone has done this before, any advice and ideas on how best to do this will be greatly appreciated.
