These two statements are contradictory - if you want to identify two
different builds, you need to make two different builds, with some
distinguishing characteristic. In terms of Android, this means two
different apps with different packages, which may very well behave exactly
the same as far as the user is concerned.

One idea: distribute a database (or other file) that contains your list of
pre-installed devices (by IMEI or whatever) with the app. When it runs it
can check the current device to see if it's in the pre-configured list.
