the ${project.archivesBaseName} default value is 'app', it will not cause break change.
i will use it rename apk

I think this is a request to build the APK to known location based on app name instead of hardcoding "app-" prefix? The referenced referenced is in dart, project.archivesBaseName is a Gradle property.

See also #54328

@jmagman I think he wants to be able to rename the apk / bundle without getting errors.

For example if you perform

flutter build appbundle

with the following defaultConfig:

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "some.app"
    minSdkVersion 24
    targetSdkVersion 30
    versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
    versionName flutterVersionName
    **archivesBaseName = "app-${builtType}-${versionName}-${versionCode}.apk"**
}

It will eventually throw the following error stating an unsupported Android Plugin:

[ 4 ms] Unsupported Android Plugin version: 7.0.0.
[ 1 ms]

@jmagman we can use the following code to get app bundle file / apk file
