Android Market and APK file name

Question

Does it matter what I name the final .apk file that I will be uploading to the android market? Can the user see the name of the file?

Answer 1

No, name of .apk file is ignored and user will not be able to see it. You can name .apk in whatever way is convenient for you. Android Market only parses the internals of .apk files and extracts all the information it needs.

Also, when .apk is installed on the device it named as -#.apk. For example: com.google.zxing.client.android-2.apk or com.estrongs.android.taskmanager-1.apk. Though this is not documented and just an observation.
