In the past, we’ve seen several ways to download APK files to your device that weren’t available directly to you from the Play Store. The app may be limited by country or your device may not be on the supported list. For example, if your device does not support Tegra, but you are sure that after some patches you will be able to play games that should only run on Tegra, there is a way to install it manually.
We’ve seen a Windows app that downloads an APK file to a computer, but the process isn’t very user-friendly. Users have also complained about the difficulties they face in finding the app. So today we are going to discuss two great ways in which you can download the settings file of your favorite apps right from your browser.
Download APK file with Chrome Extension
To get started, download and install the APK downloader extension from the Chrome Web Store. After you have installed the extension, every time you open an app page on the Play Store, you will see a green droid button in the Address Bar. You can directly click on the icon to start downloading the APK file. However, the first time you download anything, you’ll need to configure the app and link it to your Google Account.
When you click on the extension, it will open the configuration page directly. Provide the Google account information you use on the Play Store along with the GSF ID KEY on your device. You can use the Android Device ID app to get that value for your device.
In the configuration you can also select the network operator you want to download country-specific apps from. It downloads directly from Google’s servers and so you will always get the latest versions. Currently, there is no way to download paid apps, even if the app has been purchased in the past.
Download APK files without Google and Chrome accounts
As an alternative, you can download the installer files directly from Evozi and so this trick can be done on any browser installed on your computer. Using this trick, users can directly download the APK file from that website without providing Google account details. This process makes it a lot easier to download apps that are restricted to your account. All you need to do is provide the app’s Play Store link and click Generate button.
However, the service is limited to 1400 new APK files per day, and quotas often run out quickly.
You can also secure your downloads by adding the https prefix to the download links.
Conclusion
So here are two ways to download APK files directly to your computer and you no longer have to depend on your friends to repackage the APK and transfer it to your device via Bluetooth. Also, if you have any doubts about the APK file and how you can install it on your device, don’t forget to check out our guide on Android package files.
