APK Downloader – Download APK files from Android Market to PC

24 Feb

Update May 19: if you’re using Chrome 19 or later, you must add another command --allow-running-insecure-content to your Chrome shortcut. Please read the #1 step below for more information.

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 1.2.1 *USE AT YOUR OWN RISK*

Requirement: Chrome 17 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. Disable SSL error warnings

If you don’t do this step, the extension WILL NEVER WORK.

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 )

1. Right click on Chrome shortcut, select “Properties”

2. Switch to “Shortcut” tab. In “Target” field, insert [space]--ignore-certificate-errors[space]--allow-running-insecure-content at the end. Once you have that finished, click “OK” .

It will look something like this:
C:\…\chrome.exe --ignore-certificate-errors --allow-running-insecure-content
or
“C:\…\chrome.exe” --ignore-certificate-errors --allow-running-insecure-content

Close Chrome and open it again with that shortcut

3. Open APK Downloader Options page. If your screen looks like the right picture ( the warning box is gone ), then you disabled SSL error warnings successfully

II. 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.
  • Why do I have to disable SSL error warnings first?
    - This extension needs to send data to https://android.clients.google.com/market/api/ApiRequest . If you don’t disable that warning, Chrome will display an error page, and there is no way to make this extension work.
  • Is it safe to disable SSL error warnings?
    - It’s safe if you know what you’re doing. Please notice that it only disable SSL warnings, not disable SSL protocol.
    But I recommend that you should create two separate Chrome shortcuts. One with and one without --ignore-certificate-errors flag.
  • 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 apps that not available in my country or not compatible with my device?
    - The answer is yes, because it uses T-Mobile operator code.
  • 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:

  • 1.2.1: 03/07/2012
    • Switches from android.market.com to play.google.com
  • 1.2: 02/27/2012
    • Disable download button on paid apps
    • New feature: Change sim operator
  • 1.0: 02/24/2012
    • Initial version

I wanna say thanks to @alexandre_t for his Android Market API

It took me 1 week to finish this, so hope you guys enjoy this :)

          I tried it from the command prompt works good, but still (windows) does not let me change the target in the shortcut!
          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

    Worked great for me in Chrome 18. I pulled the source to make sure it doesn’t do anything malicious – it’s available here: http://lts.cr/BcOz if you want to examine it.

        • http://redphx.com redphx

          No, that’s ok. I’m waiting for someone looks into the source code and confirm that it doesn’t do anything malicious and it’s safe to use

    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?

    • Kmil

      Why?
      “-  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 .

     I can’t use your Device ID app because it’s in AM and I can’t get anything from AM. i get an error (says SSL or dev id).  I got the shortcut “deal” working fine (in options) no more warning there.

      btw … i still can’t download .. when i download an app .. it said pls disable SSL error warning and Check your device information … 

      Is it cuz of the country issue ? on the market page it also said it’s incompatible with your device and not available for your country .. :(

  • Joey Cossack

    Why does this not work for me? Windows 7, Chrome 17. Went into properties and changed the end of target to –ignore-certificate-errors. I restarted chrome and I still get the red bar saying change SSL errors….so I created another chrome shortcut, and same thing…..then I created another chrome shortcut and added –remote-debugging-port=9222, and that didn’t work either….What am i doing wrong?

  • 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 

    • Husain Syedm

      Are you getting the icon on address bar. I do not get this icon on the address bar but it seems to be working.

    also you wrote in your explination  that the target shoudl be something like :

    “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 
    just like this 
    “C:Program FilesGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –ignore-certificate-errors

       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

    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 hope its not a security threat

  • PeterA

    I had the same problem many users described below. I kept getting an error message that either my login, device id, or ssl warnings were incorrect, Closing and reopening chrome didn’t help. Then I noticed that even when I close all the chrome windows the extensions still show up as processes in task manager. I killed all chrome* tasks and when I restarted chrome everything worked as advertised. A Great App!

  • Kljhlkjh

    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.

    Any advice on how to find the device ID for a kindle fire? my problem is I cant download marketplace apps in the first place to find my ID

    • Stranger

      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

    I m trying to get this monster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galapagossoft.trialx2_winter it s the last version 2.12 and it gives me an incomplete apk with parsing error

    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 

  • telis sidiropoulos

     i think we need an explanation for certificate error message

    • Andrey

      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

  • Laura

    I got the SSL error message as well.

    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:
      - Không thể sử dụng cookie của trình duyệt, vì muốn download file phải có một cookie hoàn toàn khác

    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

    I have used this successfully several times (v1.0, 1.2, and 1.21). It does not work any more.

    The shortcut is unchanged: ”C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –ignore-certificate-errors

    The email, device id, and sim operator settings are unchanged and correct and no error message appears on the options page. However, I get the SSL certificate error when I attempt to download a file.

    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?

    I use Mac OS 10.5.8

  • http://www.vinicius-stutz.com/ Vinícius Stutz

    I try, but I can’t remove errors “Forbidden Error 403″ and/or “ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND”. Why?

  • Andyrogers50

    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.

    • Guest

      The problem was same with me
      I find “please disable SSL error warnings” and “check your account information (email and device ID)”
      please give me a solution that I can use this trick again

  • John Russell

    This would be great if it worked, but there’s no download button on my address bar for purchased apps. 

    I’ve set it up on Google Chrome and Chromium. The extension is listed, SSL Warnings are disabled, the device id is there; Options appear to be working. 
    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

  • Isotiriou

    I agree with “John Russel”
    I just installed it and i have to buy the apps which is for purchase.
    I believe you said that i can download all apps.
    Is that a trick to install this app!?!

    Thanks

I am tired of the facist google corporation telling me what is and is not compatible for MY device, I should be allowed to download what I please and find that out myself since everything that said “incompatible” so far if downloaded as an .apk and installed works fine.
