No, name of
.apkfile is ignored and user will not be able to see it. You can name.apkin whatever way is convenient for you. Android Market only parses the internals of.apkfiles and extracts all the information it needs.Also, when
.apkis installed on the device it named as<package.name>-#.apk. For example:com.google.zxing.client.android-2.apkorcom.estrongs.android.taskmanager-1.apk. Though this is not documented and just an observation.
