02/24/2012 by 1,413 Comments

Update #2 on 07/16/2013: APK Downloader 1.4.3 is now available. Now it supports new Google Play layout. Please read changelogs for more information. I’m still working on version 2.0. Stay tuned

Update 07/16/2013: I’m working on APK Downloader 2.0 . Hopefully it will be available this weekend. Stay tuned

Update 02/13/2013: If you’re using Android 2.2+ on a rooted device and having problem downloading incompatible apps, please try Market Helper

First: this project is made for my personal needs, then I decide to publish it because I think some people may need it. This is not a tool for pirating. It’s good or bad depend on how you use it. Please don’t make me look bad because of this.

This is the official page of APK Downloader. Do not download the extension from other sources.

Use at your own risk. I’ll not take responsibility for anything happen to you or your account.

APK Downloader is a Google Chrome extension that allows you to download Android APK files from Android Market to your PC

See it in action:

Download and Install: APK Downloader 1.4.3 ( Right click, select “Save link as…” ) *USE AT YOUR OWN RISK*

How to install: open Extensions page, then drag the downloaded file into that page.

Requirement: Chrome 23 or later

* Please read and follow this instruction carefully before using, or it WON’T WORK *

After installed APK Downloader, you’ll need to follow these steps in able to use it

I. Enter email and device ID on Options page

1. There are two ways to get Email and Device ID

a. Easy way: install this Device ID app, it will show you your emails and Device ID

b. Difficult way: Open dial pad, call *#*#8255#*#* ( 8255 = TALK ). If it opens “GTalk Service Monitor”, find lines that begin with JID and Device ID. Your email is JID, and your device id is a string that after android- prefix

For example: if it shows android-1234567890abcdef , then your device ID is 1234567890abcdef

Do not type in random email or device ID, it won’t work

2. Enter your email’s password, then press Login. If everything is ok, now you can use APK Downloader

III. Start using

After finished two steps above, you can start using APK Downloader. Open Android Market, view any FREE apps ( for example: Simple Text ), then press the APK Downloader icon on address bar ( see screenshot )

IV. FAQs:

  • Is is against Android Market’s ToS?
    - I’m afraid that it is. Please read Section 3.3 for more information. So again, you at your own risk.
  • Where is the Options page?
    - Click on the Wrench icon on the toolbar, go to Tools -> Extensions. Find APK Downloader. At the end of its description, you’ll see a link to Options page.
  • Why do I have to enter my email, password and device ID? Does it store or send my password to another place?
    -  The extension only stores email, device id and Android Market cookie in Chrome local storage, on your computer. To be able to get Android Market cookie, it needs your email and password to login at https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin . After it’s done, password is not stored, email is stored to display on Options page, Device ID and Cookie are stored for later requests. I do not send those information to another sites.
  • Why don’t you just put one account in the extension, so we don’t have to use our information ?
    - That’s good for users, but not for developers like us. For example, when 1000 users download same app, it only counts 1.
  • Again, do you collect our information?
  • - I don’t want to get into trouble by collecting users information, so I try not to have it in any way. The only thing I’m collecting is which apps are downloaded by users. You can view the source code to make sure about this.
  • Can it download paid apps?
  • - No, of course not, unless you purchased it with your logged account before. Please remember this isn’t a tool for pirating.
  • Why do you make this extension?
    - I’m an Android developer. While working on my new project, I have to decompile some apps on Android Market. Everytime I want to decompile one, I have to download it to my phone, use Astro to backup it to SDCard, connect phone to PC, then copy the apk file. That’s a really long and painful to me, because I have to do it over and over again. That’s why I come up with this idea.

V. Changelogs:

  • 1.4.3: 07/16/2013
    • Supports new Google Play layout. Note: if you have problems, switch to English language
  • 1.4.2: 03/04/2013
    • This version is made by Stephan Schmitz, Peter Wu from this repository. Big thanks to them. I’m planning adding more features in the future.
  • 1.2.1: 03/07/2012
    • Switches from android.market.com to play.google.com
  • 1.2: 02/27/2012

    • New feature: Change sim operator
  • 1.0: 02/24/2012

          Thanks!

    It locks up any market page when the extension is activated.  Only way to get to any new page in the browser is to deactivate the extension.  Might be a Chrome version issue.  I’m using the portable version.

    • http://redphx.com redphx

      Haven’t tested on Chrome portable yet. I’ll look into it. Thanks

      • Angus

        I’m also having the same problem in Chromium 16.0.912.77 on Linux. If I enable this extension (even when it’s the only extension enabled), Chromium will no longer load any webpage. The extension seems really awesome. I was looking forward to using it.

        • http://redphx.com redphx

          Hmmm, too bad I’m not using Linux. Are you using the latest version of Chromium?

          • Angus

            I updated to the dev channel version 19.0.1049.3 and it’s working very well now. Thanks.

          • http://redphx.com redphx

            Thanks for reminding me that it requires Chrome 17 or later

    • http://redphx.com redphx

      Please check if you’re using Chrome 17 or later

    Just found out that the use of this extension is against the Market’s ToS – proceed at your own risk. The clause it violates is:

    3.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) the Market by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) the Market through any automated means (including use of scripts, crawlers or similar technologies from time to time) and shall ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any robots.txt file present on the Market website.

    Okay, it took a little bit of work to get this to work, but it does now. 

    I’m on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux. So, in reading the instructions, I went and downloaded chrome( http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_beta.html?dl=beta_amd64_deb ) Beta build. Dev build should work, but betas tend to be more stable, correct? 
    I accepted the agreement, downloaded, installed, etc. 

    After this, I had to create a shortcut to my desktop. Open the browser, click the “new tab” page, and right-click one of the applications. I used “Google Search”. Right click,  ”Create Shortcut”, place on desktop. Go to this shortcut you just placed on the desktop, and right click, “properties”, this is where it was a bit odd, the instructions say  ”Below instruction is for Windows users. For OS X and Linux users, please read this post ( replace –remote-debugging-port=9222 in the example with –ignore-certificate-errors )”
    This was not true in my case. I, instead, had to use –ignore-certificate-errors INSTEAD of –remote-debugging-port=9222. 

    Great work with the extension, I love it. 

  • ArKain

    Uh, can this be used on paid apps? Couldn’t I just download the 50 or so top apps and host them on a page, thus making pirating ridiculously easy?

    Device ID? Why?? What’s the device ID for an LG Optimus 2X, or is each individual phone different?

      Why?
      “-  The extension only stores email, device id and Android Market cookie in Chrome local storage, on your computer.

    Hi, just to let you know it doesnt work with paid apps at all, even if you purchased it.

  • Guest1

    You mentioned about the source code? Where is that?

    cool – now that you have added the change sim operator option would I have to change that option if I wanted to download stuff from another country?

    Thanks

  • AdamFrancisGarbacz

    As people have pointed out, this doesn’t work on paid apps you have purchased (apps you own). I’d love to use this to push apps I’ve paid for to devices they don’t officially support. If you could fix that you and I will be best friends forever. Thanks for this, though. It’s a great start.

Sorry bout the bold, that “ignore certificate errors” I copied and pasted was in bold and I copied and pasted from my text edit and it made the rest of my text bold.

    Great Work ,
    but I came to your work when I was trying to download an application that it’s not compatible with my phone ,,, so I thought of downloading the APK then try to force install it ,,

    but since your extension needs the device ID , I could not  download whats not compatible with my phone ,,, any other compatible application can be downloaded ok 

    so what about posting our device id’s here “if it’s not a security threat ” ?by that I can changee my device ID and can download any app 

    any way ,, thank you so much for the great Idea

    “It will look something like this: C:…chrome.exe –ignore-certificate-errors”

    but actually I t should look like this ,, the additional –ignore-certificate-errors should come after the quotation mark

       I think that your device is not compatible ,,, that way I suggested the following :

      guys I’m using this extension

      but the bad thing is I can’t download apps unless there are
      compatible with my device ,,, and it can recognize my device via device
      Id

      so my suggestion , is we post our device name and device Id , so If
      anyone wants to download an app that is not compatible with his/her
      device ,, he can change the device Id from the list that we shared

I killed all chrome* tasks and when I restarted chrome everything worked as advertised. A Great App!

    Same Problem here. Trying to download an app gives SSL warning.
    Clean install of chrome on fresh win installation, shortcut copied from another win installation where it worked before, so mistypings in the shortcut are impossible.
    So, what to do? Can we users provide some kind of log or similar to help you to isolate the problem?

    BTW: the “–” in your text don’t work, they are other strokes than the ones on the keyboard. Initally I had to replace them to make APK Downloader work.

      Device ID for the Kindle Fire would be 0×1949, if I recall correctly from rooting.

  • Sleepycat3x

    on a mac:
    * install the extension and enter your email/password/android id
    * close the browser window and make sure Chrome is closed completely* open terminal* type: open /Applications/Google Chrome.app –arg –ignore-certificate-errors
    * this will open chrome with SSL error warnings disabled
    * go to google play and when you’re on a FREE app page you’ll see the green APK downloader in your address bar
     
    It’s not showing on paid apps that I have purchased though

    Everything else works just fine about 5-6 apps downloaded but this is bad and I d

    on t understand why …

    I have to say very good job, your tool is extraordinary handy and exclusive, congratulations !

    There s no other way to get apps from the market PC directly

      After a while with this issue this line worked for me on win 7:

      “C:Usershere usernameAppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –ignore-certificate-errors

      I guess it was something about a different kind of letter or something because it didn t worked at first try but changing several times finally worked well
      I hope it will help you too

    có chút góp ý:
    - bạn có thể lấy acc google trong cookies của tình duyệt được không?
    - nếu không được và vẫn phải nhập acc, bạn có thể lấy device id của acc giúp người dùng được không (vì người dùng android đăng ký acc liên kết với device nên có thông tin này), đỡ phải nhập device id.

    Mình nghĩ extension của bạn rất hay, mình cũng thường tìm app trên máy tính, chỉ có điều cải tiến 1 chút thì người dùng sẽ đỡ phiền hà hơn …

    • http://redphx.com redphx

      Mình xin trả lời các câu hỏi của bạn:

    I cannot get the ICON on the address bar of chrome. APk downloader extension is installed and all the other inputs are correct. However when I go to google play and try to download:

    a. the icon does not appear in the address bar
    b. the google play downloads directly to my device which is Kindle fire and as I am out of USA it does not load.

    So please let me know how to get the icon on the address bar. Thanks

    • zhangchina3

      NEED click ‘install’ button first ,and cancel the popup window,and then u’ll see the icon appear in the address bar.

      • Husain Syedm

        Please explain.

        I have installed the downloader extension and it appear in the ggggle  Tools – extension page as having been installed.
        The SSL ignore certificate errors is also working – no problem there.

        BUT when I go to google play and try to download the app the file the ICON does not appear in the address bar bar and I get to the INSTALL window for the app. Then when I click it it says instaaling and then the file will be sent to your device later. Nothing happens afterwards

        The problem is how to get the ICON in the address filed of the Chrome.

        Many thanks for your reply and look forward to getting a solution. Thank you

    So where’s the source code I can view??

  • Mirhawk

    Okay people, according to what I have noticed, following things need to be checked for proper functionality:

    1) Check regularly that the “ 
    –ignore-certificate-errors ” is added in the target location, because it tends to get removed automatically after sometime.
    2) Run Chrome browser only from the shortcut where You have added the text, and don’t run any other instance of chrome at the same time, as it overrides the ssl code.
    3) For those who are getting wrong email or password, check the device id properly, and follow the above two steps.

  • Jlfskjf

    Yeah, I’ve checked those things, and my device ID. still wrong username/password

    How come some apks won’t install and give me a “Error parsing package” when trying to install. This happens with: Adobe Flash 11, Gmail and Youtube apps

  • Alex Lee2011

    so difficult.

  • xNCODEx

    If you get the “error parsing package”, that means that your phone cannot use that app or file.

    If you don’t see the little Android icon IN YOUR ADDRESS / URL BAR, then restart Chrome.

    Make sure that you add a shortcut to Chrome like this on your desktop:
    C:UsersYOUR_USERNAMEAppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe –ignore-certificate-errors

    If you encounter the “forbidden error 403″, just close the tab, and click the android icon again.
    This happened to me a few times. But just closing the tab, and clicking to install again fixed it for me.

    If you are having trouble disabling SSL, re-read this section: I: Disable SSL error warnings
    It explains how to do so.

    A little tip: If you create ONE shortcut with the “–ignore-certificate-errors”, I notice that it affects
    all Chrome shortcuts. Granted that you can only download with the one that actually has the
    line added. Still a little crazy. However, I’m still using it. Thanks man.

    Excellent, Thanks!

    Nevertheless, though it worked fine for some weeks, I updated the Chrome to 18.0.1025.152 on Win 7, and can’t figure out why I couldn’t make it work again. Every time I want to download anything, it keeps showing the Error dialog Box. Either I didn’t disable SSL error warnings properly or I mistaken something of my device ID. As I already followed the procedure correctly, can’t figure now what I’m doing wrong. Any suggestions?

    Help

    I have done everything that you said above.  I am able to enter my logon information and Device ID (using android ID app) and the little green man appears when I go to an app that I want but when I try and download I get an error that says that says please disable SSL error warnings and check your logon and device ID.  

    I have checked all of these several times and I cannot see what I am doing wrong.  The https on the google play has a strike through it and I have included the –ignore-certificate-errors in the target line of the shortcut.

    This is now driving me mad – any advice gratefully received.  My Chrome is V18 running on Win 7 Home Premium.

    I’m running Google Chrome 18.0.1025.168 on Ubuntu 11.10 and Chromium 18.0.1025.168 (Developer Build 134367 Linux) on Ubuntu 11.10. 

    Is this a feature, or is there a fix?

    Thanks

Re-entered everything, still get the error message. Re-installed the APK Downloader & installed into Chrome … still get the error message. Has the Google Shop changed their settings to block downloads? I’m after the current Facebook for Android APK that I’ve downloaded in earlier version.

    I did all the steps but when I need to go an login the android app thing it doesnt work? 
    help? 

  • Jonny789bravo

    I HAVE FIGURE OUT REASON FOR error - Please disable ssl warning
    - Check your account information (email and device id )”..it occurs when google play blocks ur device id..as this extension worked for my first android for sometime..after that i changed to device id & email account of my second android phone..it started working again… so u can download only small no. of apps with ur android device id..after that it stops working permanently…

  • man

    • Slaiphotos

      Why it doesn’t work for me?  I downloaded the latest Chrome.  I copied the above –ignore…. and pasted it in the same position as told above.  The Downloader Option came up and allowed me to save my email, password and device ID.  But still got the SSL error when I tried to download apps.

    It worked! Great job :D How I do this step? “But I recommend that you should create two separate Chrome shortcuts. One with and one without –ignore-certificate-errors flag.” 

  • Paintballmavin

    Works great on my Aluratek Cinepad…..took a while for me to find the “DeviceID” app, almost every link took me to Google Play(wouldn’t have needed to do this if I could use Google Play, LOL), but finally found it, once I got my ID, all was golden!   thanks!

  • Davepegz

    If you’ve not used it for a while, try going to extension settings, logging out and logging in again. Works for me.
    Don’t forget to copy device id so you can paste it in again! Saves having to find it again

    • Geert

      Thanks for your advice, I followed it and everything is rolling again :)

      Logout from APK Downloader (Chrome -> Tools -> Extensions -> APK Downloader -> Options). Close all Chrome instances. Start Chrome again and fill-in your previous login info and login. Then it should start working again.

  • pmshah

    This worked absolutely flawlessly for me. This may be against the ToS of Goolge but I have a situation for which I have no alternative. There are may be 2 or 3 applications which are very heavy in resources and unfortunately require to be installed in the phone memory. If I were to do this I run out of memory and slows down my phone. These I need VERY infrequently but desperately when I do. These don’t require any kind or registration or login. Installing  these from the Google Play site as and when I need them and uninstallling  them  after every use is not convenient. So I simply plan to store the APK files on my memory card and work from there.  This way I have my applications AND keep my memory free !

    Thanks for the effort, but need to allow to download MY paid apps.
    I had a Desired HD and now a Galaxy Note, I manage to buy few apps with the Desired HD id but I can’t use it in my note, which is bullshit because 99% chances it would work fine.

    It’s just like a bad DRM and you are not helping by removing the feature in your extension.

    So what do I do now, stuck with apps that I cannot play?

    How do I disable SSL error warnings on a Mac OS? I see the code: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome –remote-debugging-port=9222

    I have the same issue as to disable SSL warnings but I am not sure where or how to disable.

    I went to http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags
    but I’m not sure as to what/where/how to do with the prescribed coding:

    /Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium –remote-debugging-port=9222

    # for Google Chrome you’ll need to escape spaces like so:

    Owesome job! Bro!
    It does work!

  • hotmale

    I think it’s risky kind of job, To give you my device ID and my account password.
    So … The sites like http://www.AppsApk.com works for me, because they don’t ask anything and give me everything :)
    Anyhow thanks alot for the extension.

  • Jake

    “Can it download apps that not available in my country or not compatible with my device?
    - The answer is yes, because it uses T-Mobile operator code.”

    Whenever I tried to download APKs for the apps which were not compatible with my device, I encountered an error message, “ERROR: Cannot download this app!” unlike the above explanation.(refer to the attached file) Any solution for this? In fact, the previous version of APK downloader worked without problem in this regard.

  • http://bikasv.com/ BestGeeK

    Cannot install on Chrome 22 at all.
    Also, on previous version, I cannot download apps not compatible with my device which render the app completely worthless. It used to work earlier.
    Great app gone shitty.

    I have downloaded your APK downloader, but it doesn’t seem there is any difference whether I set the properties. And after I log in successfully, there is still not any icon on the address bar. So it seems that Chrome block out this APP totally. Thank you for your developement, but we really need you to fix this problems. Thank you again! Best.

  • Gauri

    For those who is aware of “Manifest version 2″ error here is a solution.
    1. manifest.json
    1.1. Add string
    “manifest_version”: 2,

    1.2. Change
    “background_page”: “background.html”,
    to
    “background”: {“page”: “background.html”},
    1.3. Change
    “popup”: “popup.html”
    to
    “default_popup”: “popup.html”
    2. options.html
    2.1. Change to
    2.2. Create file options.js and move all content of that section there.
    3. popup.html3.1. Change to 3.2. Create file popup.js and move all content of that section there.

  • Matt

    Maybe i’m misreading or not seeing a section here, i’ve downloaded the extension but can’t install it into chrome – i drag the file onto chrome & it just tells me I can only add extensions via the chrome app store?!?

    Hi I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I successfully installed chrome with apk downloader extension. I tried to disable ssl warning by editing the properties of chrome by going /usr/share/application and right click the google chrome icon and changed the command like “/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome –ignore-certificate-errors %U” But still I am getting ssl error warning while I am tiring to download the application.

  • LEO

    i can use it in my chrome. but sometimes it says“can’t download this app!”

  • Helping friends

    [Resolved] Even after following the correct installation process most of you will be getting the error:
    ERROR :- please disable ssl warning (already done) check your account information(also verified many times)

    One of the reason for this error is that you might be trying to access Android Market store through some other email address. Always ensure that you configure the same email address in the APK Downloader extension which is also configured on your Android handsetmobile and use the same email address to access the Android Market store too. Don’t use any other email id which is different than the one you use on your Android Handsetmobile.

  • Josh

    I’m using Google Chrome Version 22.0.1229.94 m and I didn’t have to add –ignore-certificate-errors –allow-running-insecure-content to my shortcut. I just installed the extension and logged in and I was good to go.

  • Ticked Off Android Dev

    As an Android developer myself, I just have to point out how incredibly lame it is that you feel you have to decompile apps that are on the Android Market in order to write your own apps. You can’t figure something out on your own and so you have to resort to stealing someone else’s code to do it? Pathetic!

  • Kufor

    I have no idea whether this wrote anyone before me, but maybe my post will be useful :) If you can’t install this extension because of that stupid Chrome Web Store, just right click on extension, choose “Save target as”, in Chrome open Tools – Extensions and Drag & Drop downloaded file here. Now it works ;)

  • http://www.facebook.com/phil.gardner Phil Gardner

    Chrome wouldn’t allow me to install the extension from your website, but I was surprised to find I could install it from the Chrome Web Store. However, when I go to the extension’s options page there are no fields to input the email address, password and device ID. All I see is this:

    Options
    Homepage [link] – My Android Apps [link]
    redphx

    Does this mean that the extension has been disabled? If so, please make that clear on this web page, so that people don’t waste their time trying to make it work. And you might as well remove it from Chrome Web Store as well.

  • camille grossel

    error 400 cannot download this app

  • JustFYI

    Running Windows XP SP2, Google Chrome 17.0.963.56 m ; APK Downloader 1.2.1.crx Works fine.
    There seems to be auto-updating going on ,and v1.4.2 keeps getting ‘installed/reinstalled’, and there is no download icon in the url field.

    Not sure if APK downloader updates itself or if chrome is doing something; I jumped through some hoops to get chrome to stop updating so maybe theres another hoop for extensions.

    Just thought I’d share incase anyone else is having problems; I have to remove extension, add the old 1.2.1.crx and re-enter settings to get it working again; every day or so…

    Hi i have a suggestion to you

    i test apk downloader it works in about 90 percent of compatible apps (and some can not)

    i see source codes in it and a section it will use “passion:15″ for downloading

    some times some apk has different version for different device for example Gmail have two version android 4, android 2.3 sending “passion:15″ always download apk for andorid 4.0.1 (ICS)

    i thing you need to embed a drop down to select OS version based on SDK to user download with specific version from google

    see api level from

    many thanks

    Hi

    I work in source code of APK Downloader and found why some apps can not be downloaded with this add-on

    i use Real Apk Leecher and found why some app with compatible can not be downloaded

    it you see source code of apk down-loader, it send Package Name to Google for download but Google Need AppId to download some apps. AppId is a unique string that will contact of some App information Like version code,

    i test some code and use some app id to download games like Real Racing and Dungeon Hunter with 1 GIG size!!!!!

    if you fix it all apps can be downloaded. but for get AppId you need to send first request to Google and Get AppId and in next request get Url for download.

    packageName must replace with AppId
    ——————————
    case 22:
    a.AddRange(serializeInt32(packageName.Length + 2));
    break;
    case 24:
    a = serializeData(a, packageName, “string”);
    break;
    ————————————–
    Thanks for lovely addon great work.

    When trying to download APK from play store I get the following error:

    ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

    Please advise and thanks in advance for your help

  • Albert Gan

    From the various message postings, it appears to me that the new APK Downloader V1.4.3 works on some Windows OS and some Chrome browsers versions only. It may be helpful to the developer of APK Downloader if forumers indicate which OS and Chrome version that they use whether it works or not in their postings.

    I’ve tried the APK Downloader V1.4.3 on WinXP SP3 with Chrome V28.0.1500.72 m, but failed. The alternative APK Leecher V1.3.5 is also not working now. It returned “Error while connecting to server” and “Some error occured! Close and try again!”.

  • Tay Dinghan

    Tnx dude. works with chrome ver 28 U helped me get a game i longed wanted to play but was incompatible with my device. But now u helped me alot!

    i am use chrome 19 and apk downloader V1.4.3 .but it can’t work. Thanks for your effort

  • Mila Pi

    I can’t get the icon to show on addres bar. I mean, it does appear shortly after I install the app via drag and drop on extensions page, but once I enter the email and device id, the icon is gone.
    I did use the older version of your app a few weeks ago, and it worked fine back then.

  • kriya

    I too using APK downloader It can easily browse through variety of apps and they are easily uninstall too.

    Sample mails

  • apkleechergal

    Just like the others, I had trouble downloading apps in version 1.4.3

    At
    first, when I clicking the download button, nothing happened. If a
    refreshed the page a few times or restarted Chrome and kept clicking,
    sometimes the download would happen.

    Then I finally got the can’t download app, error 403 message.

    I’m running Chrome 28 on Windows 8.

    The
    Real apk leecher 1.3.5 is also giving errors when I try to download.
    Perhaps google changed the play store code or froze out scripts like
    these?

    To redphoenix89: We appreciate your work, but instead of a
    Chrome browser add-on, have you thought of forking the Real apk leecher
    app and working on it? Its open source, but nobody has realized an
    update in almost a year.

  • Great

    The latest version 1.4.3 works nicely.

    Steps: Just drag the downloaded file to chrome extension to install it (you can’t directly install it as chrome extension now), and then logout your existing account if you have the previous version and then login using your username, password, and device id. After that simply search for a playstore app, enter the link, and then refresh the page to have the download icon appear.

  • Albert Gan

    It works on WinXP SP3 on Chrome Version 28.0.1500.95 m. It will work if you adhere to the following setup steps :

    Step 1) :
    Drag the downloaded APK V1.4.3 to Chrome Extension to install the extension.

    Step 2) :
    Log out your existing Google account if you have previous version of APK Downloader installed.

    Step 3) :
    After Logged out, go to Google Play Store. Select the free app that you want to download. The APK Downloader icon will appear on the web address bar.

    Step 4) :
    Right click the APK Downloader icon shown on the web address bar, then select Options. The account dialogue box will pop up.

    Step 5) :
    Input your Google e-mail address, Device ID and then click “Show advanced settings…”

    Step 6) :
    Select country of your SIM Operator, then click Save SIM operator.

    Step 7) :
    Done !

    Make a posting to confirm if it works for the benefits of other forumers.

    • Jason Law

      Yes,following these steps above I could make it works again. But at step 9 it was kinds of differently, as I right clicked on the page then clicked reload, the APK downloader icon disappeared. Instead I tried another way, deleteing the rear words of address of the website.For example,if a app’s address is “https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baseapp.eyeem&hl=en”, what you should do is deleteing words, “&hl=en”, then press “enter” key, and the page will refresh. At this time,Click the APK Downloader icon on the web address bar. The download will begin.

    • morrowind

      Wow, must do step 10 “re-load”, or it doesnt work.

    Where are the APK files stored? I -THINK- the program worked, but have no idea where to go to grab the APKs?

    This is getting kind of frustrating, and the developer is not answering e-mails at the address given in the original post.

    Does anyone else have any idea? Thanks!

    • Mila Pi

      Since you use Chrome, it should be showing a download bar at the bottom of the screen giving you access to download folder, which by default, is my ‘default windows download folder’. But I believe it always downloads to the folder you used last time you downloaded something.
      You might as well grab Snap Pea windows application for smartphones which lets you manage installed applications as well as downloaded apk files. It’s free and very handy, for me at least.

  • Mila Pi

    Guys, make sure that the email you set in options is the one ‘connected’ with your phone and visible on screen where you check the phone device ID. I was struggling again with “403 forbidden” errors today, and tried logging out/restarting chrome/logging in again to no avail. BUT what I did wrong was that I decided I would change the email in the options. Once I used the original email visible in my phone, the downloader worked again!
    PErhaps that is obvious to most of you, but it wasn’t to me untill today :D

    I have followed all the steps and I also have no icon to click on for the apk downloader extension.
