      This is useful if the android package has a custom name that contains, for example, a version number etc. This is especially useful when publishing apps to Google Play.

      This can be achieved by setting archivesBaseName in build.gradle e.g.:

      defaultConfig {        
  resConfig "en"        
  minSdkVersion qtMinSdkVersion        
  targetSdkVersion qtTargetSdkVersion 
  archivesBaseName = "custom-name-build"    
}

      However, this does not work properly if "Sign package" (which is also required on Google Play) is active.

      There are two types of errors there:

      • if Build Android App Bundle (*.aab) was not selected:
      Unable to open 'R:/build-test18-Android_Qt_6_2_0_Clang_armeabi_v7a-Release/android-build//build/outputs/apk/release/android-build-release-unsigned.apk' for verification
Unable to open 'R:/build-test18-Android_Qt_6_2_0_Clang_armeabi_v7a-Release/android-build//build/outputs/apk/release/android-build-release-unsigned.apk' as zip archive
      • if Build Android App Bundle (*.aab) was selected:
      Signing file R:/build-test18-Android_Qt_6_2_0_Clang_armeabi_v7a-Release/android-build//build/outputs/apk/release/android-build-release-unsigned.apk
jarsigner command failed.

      I attach a simple application (test18.zip) to reproduce this problem.
