Nope, because the delivered bundle is going to be different from the APK the developer uploaded. This is the actual goal of this system. And when used for good, it allows much smaller app downloads.

However, it also makes developer signing harder (so google decided to eliminate it) because every app bundle is going to be a different file. As a side effect, this also kills 'reproducible builds', unless the bundling process by google is itself reproducible.
