      Describe the bug

      There is a problem using annotation-based resources tracking (see here) in the case of multiple ArgoCD instances.
      When multiple ArgoCD instances have Applications with same name, it is impossible to differentiate their resources and Applications are in the infinite sync loop.

      But ArgoCD already supports this scenario, but only with legacy label-base resource tracking (using application.instanceLabelKey). It would be great to support something like instanceLabelKey also with annotation-based resource tracking.

      Annotation tracking method when multiple ArgoCD instances

      Reproducer

      First deploy two ArgoCD instances using helm chart and setting annotation-based resource tracking:

       

      helm install argocd1 argo/argo-cd -n argocd1 --create-namespace --set "server.config.application\.instanceLabelKey=argocd.argoproj.io/instance-1" --set server.service.type=NodePort --set server.service.nodePortHttp=31080 --set server.service.nodePortHttps=31443 --set configs.cm."application\.resourceTrackingMethod"=annotation
      helm install argocd2 argo/argo-cd -n argocd2 --create-namespace --set "server.config.application\.instanceLabelKey=argocd.argoproj.io/instance-2" --set server.service.type=NodePort --set server.service.nodePortHttp=32080 --set server.service.nodePortHttps=32443 --set configs.cm."application\.resourceTrackingMethod"=annotation --set crds.install=false

       

      Next create one Application per ArgoCD instance with same name:

       

      kubectl create namespace helm-guestbook-1
      kubectl create namespace helm-guestbook-2
      cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f-
      apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
      kind: Application
      metadata:
        name: helm-guestbook
        namespace: argocd1
        finalizers:
        - resources-finalizer.argocd.argoproj.io
      spec:
        destination:
          namespace: helm-guestbook-1
          server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
        project: default
        source:
          path: helm-guestbook
          repoURL: https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps.git
          targetRevision: master
        syncPolicy:
          automated:
            prune: true
            selfHeal: true
      ---
      apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
      kind: Application
      metadata:
        name: helm-guestbook
        namespace: argocd2
        finalizers:
        - resources-finalizer.argocd.argoproj.io
      spec:
        destination:
          namespace: helm-guestbook-2
          server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
        project: default
        source:
          path: helm-guestbook
          repoURL: https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps.git
          targetRevision: master
        syncPolicy:
          automated:
            prune: true
            selfHeal: true
      EOF
      

       

      Expected behavior

      Expected behavior is same support for annotation based tracking like for label based annotation.
