How do I add a version number to my APK files using 0.14+ versions of the Android Gradle plugin?

Question

I want to have the versionName included in the name of the output APK files from my Android build.

There\'s an another answer that works with pre-0.14.x

Answer 1

When using version 3.0.0 of the plugin or higher, you have to make a slight change:

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.all { output ->
        outputFileName = "myapp-${variant.versionName}-${variant.name}.apk"
    }
}

The 3.0.0 plugin migration documentation says:

If you use each() to iterate through the variant objects, you need to start using all(). That's because each() iterates through only the objects that already exist during configuration time- but those object don't exist at configuration time with the new model. However, all() adapts to the new model by picking up object as they are added during execution.
