Create a cordova hook wich triggeres on "after_build" and rename the file.

Answer 2

You can change .apk file name like this.

buildTypes {
    applicationVariants.all { variant ->
        variant.outputs.all { output ->
            outputFileName = new File("test.apk")
        }
    }
}

Add this code on your project, project/platforms/android/app/build.gradle please check this docs: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/build-variants.html#build-types
