APK Downloader Lets you Download Android Apps To Your Desktop

Have you ever wanted to get your hands on the latest game, only to find that the Android Market thought it wasn't compatible with your phone? Maybe you don't have a Tegra 2 device, but youre're pretty sure an Adreno 220 could handle it still. Have a Kindle Fire and want access to more than just the Amazon AppStore? Until now you've been stuck, but a new Chrome extension called APK Downloader will allow you to download an apk file from the Android Market directly to your desktop rather than to your device. You'll need the latest version of Chrome with SSL error notifications disabled, then you supply your device ID, email address and password (all stored locally on your computer to grab the Android Market cookie). From there you pick the app you want and you'll have the apk file on your computer, allowing you to sideload it onto any of your Android devices! It is a quite a handy little tool, but we'll be interested to see if anything is done to block this circumvention of the device rules.

Its just like downloading any file. This is how. download it, download a "file manager" from the market, plug your device into computer and move the file to your phone like you would if you where adding music. then you unplug phone. go to settings>applications>check unknown sources box>go to file manager>where you placed the apk file>click it, and install..

Where can i download this Extension?

10. ibap posted on 25 Feb 2012, 22:13 0

The extension has been pulled by the developer. See the source link.

I just download the apk file to my computer, send it to Dropbox and the file immediately syncs with Dropbox app on my phone. Then tap on file and the package installer will install the app on your device as long as the Unknown sources box is checked in the application settings menu.

Well, unfortunately the developer deactivated the extension because of fears people might be using it for pirating apps. Sucks, I enjoyed the extension for the 8 hours I had it.
