APK Installer and Launcher 2021 full offline installer setup for PC 32bit/64bit

APK Installer and Launcher is a simple app utility that allows users of Windows Vista/7/8/10 to easily install Android APK files to their smartphone or even start the app-emulation directly on your PC. Instead of manually installing apps via the command interface of Android SDK, this lightweight app enables you to handle your APK files just like they are the regular EXE files found on Windows. Simply navigate to them in Windows Explorer, and double click on them. The app can handle both wired (via USB cable) or wireless (via WiFi) connection to the Android smartphone, but the user has to activate the USB-debugging feature first to make sure this service is accessible.

Since it provides such a unique service, APK Installer and Launcher does not have its own primary user interface, and instead integrates itself into Windows OS and enables users to handle APK files from any other GUI file browser. If the presence of the phone is detected, double-click on the APK icon in Windows Explorer will automatically send that app to the phone. However, the most helpful feature is surfaced when the app cannot detect the presence of the phone. Double-click on the APK icon will then send the app to the local Android emulator, enabling you to use the mobile apps directly on the screen of your PC.

APK Installer and Launcher can be installed quickly thanks to its very small size. However, the installation procedure includes one unique step. The presence of Android SDK is REQUIRED for this app to work. To make sure this development package is present, the app will ask for its directory directly during the installation procedure.

APK Installer and Launcher is 100% FREE and can be used by users of all knowledge levels. Be aware that while the app can be used on all modern PCs running newer versions of Microsoft Windows OS, the use of onboard Android SKD emulator will require a bit more capable hardware. Users who want to find out all the coding solutions used within this app can purchase the source code on its official website.

Apk Downloader 1.0.7 Build 8 LATEST

Windows 7 / Windows 7 64 / Windows 8 / Windows 8 64 / Windows 10 / Windows 10 64

Apk Downloader 2021 full offline installer setup for PC 32bit/64bit

Apk Downloader is a lightweight download manager that is focused on supporting just a single use case scenario – an ability to directly download official Google Play Store Android applications from the web servers straight to your local PC storage. Doing so, users can create a local library of backed up Android apps, with files that are taken straight from the Google servers, and therefore, are 100% virus-free and ready for safe manual installation on your Android devices.

Installation packages of Android apps (created in the APK file format) can be found on the various third-party hosted online databases, but nothing guarantees that those files were tampered with or in worst case situations, became infected with malicious software that can not only introduce instability of your apps or OS but also actively monitor your Android device usage, steal personal and financial data, install malware and more.

By downloading the APK files straight from the official Google source, you can be sure that you have downloaded the original app that was checked by Google developers for any abnormality. Additionally, you can scan the downloaded APK files using any of your preferred virus scanner apps, providing additional assurance that your mobile device will receive untouched and safe apps.

Installation and Use

Apk Downloader comes in a small installation package that can be installed in seconds on computers running any modern version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, both 32-bit and 64-bit). After firing the app for the first time, you will be welcomed with a truly minimalistic user interface that is packaged into a very small desktop window. The app features just a single text box area where you can type the app package name or Google Play URL and a single “Generate Download Link Button”. If the app correctly recognizes your input data, it will showcase the most important information about the desired app – its package name, size, current version, and the main icon of the app. Then you can simply click on the “Download now” button and observe the transfer status in real-time.

The app features no other tools and no way to customize anything. It is focused on this simple procedure and nothing else, making it perfect not only for novices who want the easiest possible download procedure but also seasoned technicians who want to create a comprehensive offline library of software that they regularly use.
