build version is defined what you have mentioned in your gradle. check that. — nikhil bansal, Nov 05 '18 at 05:29

build.gradle file has typically structured like this:

android {
compileSdkVersion 27
defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 27
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    ...

versionName is the version that displayed for all users. For more details you can see this answer.

Question was where is it in the compiled apk. There is no Gradle in the apk. It is in the Manifest file. – lionscribe Nov 05 '18 at 06:04

If you have opened your project in Android View.

Then on you Left scroll to Gradle Scripts expand it.

Here you see build.gradle(Project:name) and build.gradle(Module:app)

Open build.gradle(Module:app).

On Top of it. you will see

android {
compileSdkVersion 27
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.company.app_name"
    minSdkVersion 18
    targetSdkVersion 27
    versionCode 1   //Change this to upgrade your app on PlayStore (Not shown there)
    versionName "1.1.0" //This was just to display on PlayStore
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

It's in the Android Manifest file. Though it's common to put it in the Gradle file, Android Gradle puts it into the Manifest file during compiling. The Manifest file starts off as a text file, but is compiled to binary.
