Rename Output Files

This fllowing code snippets allow you to change the generated apk and bundle files so you do not have to build it automatically.

Apk

if we want to change the name of the generated apk files for all build variants we can use android.applicationVariants block:

GroovyKotlin

android {
    // ...
    applicationVariants.all { variant ->
        variant.outputs.all {
            outputFileName = "MyName.apk" // put apk name here
        }
    }
}

android {
    // ...
    applicationVariants.all {
        // the case is necessary to be able to access outputFileName
        outputs.map { it as com.android.build.gradle.internal.api.BaseVariantOutputImpl }
            .forEach { variant ->
                variant.outputFileName = "MyName.apk"
            }
    }
}

Bundles

GroovyKotlin

// DO NOT FORGET THIS. put if at the top of gradle file!
import com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.FinalizeBundleTask
// ...
android {
    // ...
    applicationVariants.all {
        tasks.named("sign${variant.name.capitalize()}Bundle", FinalizeBundleTask) {
            val artifactName = "MyBundle" // change to whatever you want
            File file = finalBundleFile.asFile.get()
            File finalFile = new File(file.parentFile, "${artifactName}.aab")
            finalBundleFile.set(finalFile)
        }
    }
}

// DO NOT FORGET THIS. put if at the top of gradle file!
import com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.FinalizeBundleTask
// ...
android {
    // ...
    applicationVariants.all {
        val variant = this
        tasks.named("sign${variant.name.capitalize()}Bundle", FinalizeBundleTask::class) {
            val artifactName = "MyBundle" // change to whatever you want
            val file = finalBundleFile.asFile.get()
            val finalFile = File(file.parentFile, "${artifactName}.aab")
            finalBundleFile.set(finalFile)
        }
    }
}
