APK name with version and date and time.

defaultConfig {
    def date = new Date()
    def formattedDate = date.format('ddMMYYYY')
    def formattedVersion = versionName
    formattedVersion = formattedVersion.replaceAll('\\.','')
    setProperty("archivesBaseName", "ApplicationName_"+formattedVersion+"_"+formattedDate)
}

1. For changing app bundle name (.aab file):

in app module's build.gradle:

def dateFormat = new Date().format('ddMMMyy_HHmm')
defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xyz"
        minSdk 21
        targetSdk 31
        versionCode 3
        versionName "1.0.2"

        setProperty("archivesBaseName", "yourappname" + "_v" + versionName + "(" + versionCode + ")_"+dateFormat)

    }

For example: if your app name is XYZ then the bundle name will generated with name: XYZ_v1.0.2(3)_28Jan22_1152-prod-release

where, yourappname is XYZ , versionName is 1.0.2 , versionCode is 3 , dateFormat is 28Jan22_1152 , and app flavorType and buildType is prod-release

2. For changing apk file name (.apk file)

in app module's build.gradle:

android {

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
            variant.outputs.each { output ->
                def name = "XYZ"
                def SEP = "_"
                def flavor = variant.productFlavors[0].name
                def buildType = variant.buildType.name
                def versionName = defaultConfig.versionName
                def versionCode = defaultConfig.versionCode
                def newApkName = name + SEP + "v" + versionName + SEP + flavor + SEP + buildType + SEP + "vc" + versionCode + SEP + dateFormat + ".apk"
                output.outputFileName = newApkName
            }
        }    
}

For example, if your app name is XYZ then this will generate APK file with following custom name: XYZ_v1.0.2_prod_release_vc3_28Jan22_1152

Note: You can change dateFormat as per your requirement, for apk name if you don't have productFlavours then remove all related references from the code given above.

You can customize apk file name by using this:

Go to app Gradle 

  setProperty("archivesBaseName", "yourapp-packagename-$versionName")

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.test.app"
        minSdkVersion 13
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 14       // increment with every release
        versionName '1.4.8'   // change with every release
        setProperty("archivesBaseName", "yourapp-packagename-$versionName")
    }

}

Easiest way

Before app_debug.apk

After com.pcvark.jobtest-v1(1.0)-debug.apk

android {
    ..
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        setProperty("archivesBaseName", applicationId + "-v" + versionCode + "(" + versionName + ")")
    }

Tip You can also set versionNameSuffix for different buildType and variant (if you have). This will make different named apk for both debug and release.

buildTypes {
        debug {
          versionNameSuffix "-T"
        }
        release {
          versionNameSuffix "-R"
        }
    }

You can use the following mechanism as seperately for both debug and release build which will allow you to provide different names for each build.

buildTypes {
        debug {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            applicationVariants.all { variant ->
                variant.outputs.each { output ->
                    project.ext { appName = 'MY-CUSTOM-APP' }
                    def newName = output.outputFile.name
                    newName = newName.replace("app-", "$project.ext.appName-")
                    output.outputFile = new File(output.outputFile.parent, newName)
                }
            }
            signingConfig signingConfigs.MyApp
        }
        release {
            debuggable false
            jniDebuggable false
            applicationVariants.all { variant ->
                variant.outputs.each { output ->
                    project.ext { appName = 'MY-CUSTOM-APP' }
                    def newName = output.outputFile.name
                    newName = newName.replace("app-", "$project.ext.appName-")
                    output.outputFile = new File(output.outputFile.parent, newName)
                }
            }
            signingConfig signingConfigs.MyApp
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

Happy to help!!!
