Rename archive Name for app with Build Variant in Android Studio 3.5

Question

I was building single code for multiple apk's by using below gradle code:

flavorDimensions "version"

    productFlavors {
        Free {
            dimension "version"
            applicationId "com.exampleFree.app"
        }
        Paid {
            dimension "version"
            applicationId "com.examplePaid.app"
        }
    }

Now when i build, it creates archive app as below name:

app-Free-debug.apk

When I include below code in gradle,

setProperty("archivesBaseName","")

It now creates as below APK archive name

-Free-debug.apk

I need my APK file name as below

Free-debug.apk

I was so close but how to remove that hypen (-) which is append in prefix ?

Here you can use android migration like this.

android {

//........
flavorDimensions "version"
productFlavors {
    Free {
        dimension "version"
        applicationId "com.exampleFree.app"
    }
    Paid {
        dimension "version"
        applicationId "com.examplePaid.app"
    }
}

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.all { output ->
        def appId = variant.applicationId// com.exampleFree.app OR com.examplePaid.app
        def versionName = variant.versionName
        def versionCode = variant.versionCode // e.g 1.0
        def flavorName = variant.flavorName // e. g. Free
        def buildType = variant.buildType.name // e. g. debug
        def variantName = variant.name // e. g. FreeDebug

        //customize your app name by using variables
        outputFileName = "${variantName}.apk"
    }
}}

Apk name FreeDebug.apk

Yes But i get `Free-com.android.build.gradle.internal.api.ReadOnlyBuildType@2b5e6b50.apk` when i did this *outputFileName = "${flavorName}-${buildType}.apk"* – DoubtAN Jan 02 '20 at 14:51
Got it! its outputFileName = "${flavorName}-${buildType.name}.apk" Thanks – DoubtAN Jan 02 '20 at 14:59
@HappySingh thanks, BTW, where is it better to search for the gradle variable names like the outputFileName? – Anton Malyshev Jan 02 '20 at 19:40
@AntonMalyshev yes that is good as per my knowledge, but there can be better ways to do it. If you'll find please let me know. – Happy Singh Jan 03 '20 at 17:45
@HappySingh just wondered where did you find the variable name outputFileName... – Anton Malyshev Jan 03 '20 at 17:46
