You can use this for app name with current date and version

android {
def version = "2.4";
def milestone = "1";
def build = "0";
def name = getDate()+"APP NAME WHAT YOU WANT"+"v"+version


signingConfigs {
    config {
       ….
   }
}
compileSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(COMPILE_SDK)
buildToolsVersion BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION
defaultConfig {
   applicationId "com.PACKAGENAME"
   minSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(MIN_SDK_LIBRARY)
   targetSdkVersion Integer.parseInt(TARGET_SDK)
   versionCode 11
   versionName "2.3"
   multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
   debug {
       applicationVariants.all { variant ->
           variant.outputs.each { output ->
               def apk = output.outputFile;
               def newName;
               newName = apk.name.replace("-" + variant.buildType.name, "")
                       .replace(project.name, name);
               newName = newName.replace("-", "-" + version + "-" + milestone +
                       "-" + build + "-");
               output.outputFile = new File(apk.parentFile, newName);
           }
       }
   }
