[…]  
“application”: {  
“gecko”: {  
“id”: “{id}” // Confused slightly with documentation and forums  
}  
},

- In the gecko.id, should we use the registered email id (or) any random id(id generated by web-ext??).

- During GPO installation, what ID should i use for installation is it any random id(If so, how can i get that ID)

- In my usecase, I have to give multiple addons (each can have specific version wrt customer). In such scenarios, can i use gecko.id and push updates to AMO based on this id.
