Version 2.0 is available. View this blog for more information.
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: View this page for version 2.0
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:

Greetings from Vietnam 🙂
Works great for me!
Can download some free apps directly from Chrome now, thanks.
Thanks for reporting. Glad that it worked
won’t let me change target in XP.
Please try to create a new Chrome shortcut
Same for me on Win 7 and Chrome 17
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.
Haven’t tested on Chrome portable yet. I’ll look into it. Thanks
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.
Hmmm, too bad I’m not using Linux. Are you using the latest version of Chromium?
I updated to the dev channel version 19.0.1049.3 and it’s working very well now. Thanks.
Thanks for reminding me that it requires Chrome 17 or later
Please check if you’re using Chrome 17 or later
Works great for so called incompatible free apps too.
This is awesome. Even lets you download apps from other countries. Thanks 😀
This absolutely kicks ass !!! Thanks so much for making this plugin.
Thanks for the tool dude, works pretty well
Not working on Linux(Ubuntu).I even made the chrome ignore the certificate errors through terminal.But once the extension is installed the browser is dead and doesn’t even open other sites.
make sure you have Chrome 17 or later
Added ” –ignore-certificate-errors” on target but still I get this error ”
You must disable SSL error warnings in able to use this extension. Read more “.
Google Chrome 17.0.963.56 m / Win 7
PS: I did also reboot the PC and still have this error.
did you open Chrome with that modified shortcut?
Yes. I read the instructions.
Just create a NEW shortcut with the same path
fantastic now i can download at broadband speed i like it.
what about mozilla?
sorry, not anytime soon
i get always the information: invalid email or passwort, but it’s correct!
hmm, that’s weird
really weird… i copied the options, i loged in in anroid market – i uninstalled it… it doesn’t work – always the same ERROR… invalid email or password. 🙁
Yep. Checked everything and me also getting the same error. Does not work.
Are both of you using Google’s 2-Way-Authentication like I use? Got the same error.
I’m using 2-Way-Authentication and it worked for me.
T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide running RubiX Liquid Ice
i get always the information: invalid email or passwort, but it’s correct! But 2-way Authentication worked for me too. Thanks
No problem.
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.
feel free to examine it, cos I have nothing to hide 😀 I’m planning to put it on github soon
Oh, I didn’t mean you did, but since crx is not a straight zip format, I had to dig for the source and thought it’d save someone some time if they wanted to check it out.
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
Thanks for checkin’ it out, Art! I wasn’t gonna’ play, but I saw you examined it, and now I’m gonna’!
Won’t let me add –ignore-certificate-errors to the end of the shortcut path….
Same here. I am on XP
“C: ….chrome.exe” –ignore-certificate-errors … i added like that and i didn’t get error on login .. but while i downloaded an app it said “Pls disable SSL errors and check your email and Device ID” ..
I’ve use ….exe” –ignore-certificate-errors as suggested by you and restart chrome. It works fine now
hmm .. i’m still getting the error ..
I install it in the right way (it log-in perfectly), but when i try to download an app from the market the download page crashes with the error
Forbidden, error 404.
Anyone how know why?
Apparently it doesn’t work with the “not supported by your phone” apps 🙁
I absolutely love this. Thank you for putting so much time into it.
is it safe? did anyone check whats in the APK file?
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.
super cool! I only need a tool to forge device ID in order to download APK that for some reason are disponivel for my Motorola Defy (MIUI). any idea?
don’t you try option b. ?
this is exactly what I tried and I got the device ID of my phone which apparently is not compatible with some app like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.Citibank.CBES&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5DaXRpYmFuay5DQkVTIl0.https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kbc.mobile.android.phone.kbc&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5rYmMubW9iaWxlLmFuZHJvaWQucGhvbmUua2JjIl0.
that why i was thinking about an app which ‘generates’ device id of different phone models… maybe with one of them I could download these app….
any idea?
Can you provide a way allows user to choose different operator codes? I know it’s using T-Mobile’s, but there are so many apps which are for Japan only that I want to download.
This feature is now available as of v1.2.
Someone can download this app?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.logitech.harmonyremote&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sb2dpdGVjaC5oYXJtb255cmVtb3RlIl0.
Yes
I have multi user profiles in Chrome. I have placed shortcut to my profile in the Quick Launch. When i right click on the QL shortcut, this is how i see in the Target field of Chrome Properties.”C:Documents and SettingsSabeenaLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe”I just pasted –ignore-certificate-error at the end and now it looks like this”C:Documents and SettingsSabeenaLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –ignore-certificate-error But still i am getting the warning box.Any suggestions?
Target field – “C:Documents and SettingsSabeenaLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –profile-directory=”Default”
After pasting “C:Documents and SettingsSabeenaLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –profile-directory=”Default” –ignore-certificate-error
is with an s at the end, like this: –ignore-certificate-errorS
get the SSL error. using a CR48. any ideas?
Anyone give me Device id and mail ?
r u reading the whole article ? it said how to get mail and Device ID in Step II
Shame on you.
I changed the target, but still had the same warning. I realized i had to go to task manager and kill chrome fully and THEN reclick the shortcut, and it worked 🙂
Thanks…that did it for me
Doesn’t work for me: Invalid email or password!
Might have something to do with me using Google’s 2-Way-Authentication…can you check on that?
You need to go to
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?btmpl=va&continue=https%3A%2F%2Faccounts.google.com%2FIssuedAuthSubTokens and scroll down to create an application specific password. I have 2 step authentication and this sorted it for me, works fine now.
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.
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. 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.”
What’s the device ID?
“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”
LOL
i done all the steps but when i download an app it says
cannot download this app!
me too
how do i disable ssl for chrome on Mac ????
Thank you for this. I downloaded Need For Speed Shift on my Galaxy Nexus. I had already purchased it because it said it wan’t available on Verizon. Not sure why they would do that but thanks again for making it possible for me to use content I own.
eh. it took me a while to figure out in Step 3… start using. It worked. Now what to do with any .apk I dl’d on my PC that doesn’t work with PC. :/
I found this via Google search after countless of blogs that were talked about APK Downloader. This is pretty neat.
I have managed to download Chrome beta; now how do I install it on my Tab ?
I have 2-step verification but I’m still getting the ‘ERROR: Invalid email or password!’
Any ideas???
Windows wont let me add the –ignore-certificate-errors line to the Target. An error window pops up that says the name isn’t valid. Help?
there is a SPACE between chrome.exe and –ignore-certificate-errors
i have same problem even with add SPACE! any suggestion?
Thanks for the awesome tool!
I was greatly saddened when you took it down due to piracy concerns (for me, it wouldn’t download paid apps I hadn’t paid for) but the new version will work just perfect for me. I reposted about it at http://opensourcebb.com/2012/02/download-android-apps-directly-to-your-pc-for-sideloading/, I hope that’s ok (I gave you full credit of course).
As I can get my ID on my android tablet? (Sorry for my bad english) xD
Hi, I’ve got a “non-phone” (wifi) Android tablet, as best that I can determine, my device ID is all zeros, 16 of them. Apparently AM doesn’t like like about my tablet either.
Any suggestions, I’m looking to get a free ereader app (Blio, a copy came with my laptop, and looking to get it for my tab) and AM is the only place that has it.
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.
Hey dude, i’m really appreciate that you reactivate it again .. i was very happy to see the news of your extension launch .. cuz i can’t access download app from android market .. it’s not available for my country. It’s too bad. I’m really appreciate your work .. Thanks a lot ..
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 .. 🙁
I have this same issue. Fix?
If I dont have an Android device but still if I need just the .apk file, so that I can use that on my emulator (not sure of the term) BlueStacks to run them on my desktop, how should I work with this extension?
Mac (or should I begin to say OSX…) option?
It seems that I installed it correctly, but I don’t see the icon in chrome. Anyone know what I did wrong?
it shows up in the address bar towards the right end of it, where the adblockplus, turn-off-the-lights and google rss icons generally show up as well.
I installed the extension, and logged in, but I don’t see the chrome icon. Anyone know why?
you will see the icon when you open a market link ..
still no icon in chrome…
it shows up in the address bar towards the right end of it, where the adblockplus, turn-off-the-lights and google rss icons generally show up as well.
Yea, I can see that from the screen shots, but it doesn’t show up for me. I have the extension enabled and everything.
Like it, except it would not let me download an app I had already purchased before.
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?
make sure all Chrome processes are terminated ( check in Task Manager )
For mac, type this in terminal:
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome –ignore-certificate-errors
Doesn’t work on mac, after entering the modified command line it says , “unable to obtain profile lock”
please try if it works:
http://joysofprogramming.com/google-chrome-unable-to-obtain-profile-lock/
No such file or directory
can’t get this working on a Mac with Chrome Canary. followed the Mac instructions in terminal but it just keeps saying unable to obtain profile lock
for reference i’m doing this:
/Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary –ignore-certificate-errors
but i’m not exactly sure if that’s how i handle spaces in directory locations

Thank you!

Thank you, but when i click login, it says “cannot use this email”
i can’t do that, can u test this apps (https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.oka.GLAY) and download it for me… thnks.
Hi, just to let you know it doesnt work with paid apps at all, even if you purchased it.
You mentioned about the source code? Where is that?
Got it! 😉 Thanks!
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
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.
Thanks for the great work.
But i unable to download for this app –>

Bạn thử xem app này sao không down được nhỉ:

mình vừa thử download, vẫn tốt mà bạn?
I’ve successfully disabled SSL warnings with “–ignore-certificate-errors” but once I attempt to download an .apk from the market I receive an error stating
“-Please disable SSL error warnings
-Check your account information (email and device ID)”
Account info is all correct, and I closed all instances of chrome after adjusting the target switch, then rebooted just to be sure, still not working. Suggestions?
Dear
redphx, I have the same problem. What is the answer. Thank you
Please check if the Device ID is correct
Have the same problem. Tried to recheck my Device id but it says ” Send heartbeat to server”. Nothing else is shown. Why is this?
I’ve also got this problem
All account info, including Device ID, is entered correctly, so why am I getting this error still?
Thanks for the help.
Had same problem. Solved by using “hard way” to obtain device id. Was different than app from Market gave.
I used the dialer method to obtain mine, so I’m totally at a loss. But thanks for the suggestion.
have the same problem too. but not solved
Cái bước 1 là disable SSL error warnings, nó không cho. Vậy làm thế nào
Greaaattt works well 😀
anyone knows knows how to disable the SSL errors warnings on Linux (Ubuntu) Chrome/Chromium?
aa
Tried to recheck my Device id but it says ” Send heartbeat to server”. Nothing else is shown. Why is this?

I can’t get the APK Downloader to accept my Kindle Fire Device ID at Login. I entered it correctly with NO spaces.
I still get the pop-up to enter only A-Z, 0-9.
Is there another way to sign in?
Does this work with verizon? I dont see an option available for us…
So for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, using Google Chrome App, I type this into the Terminal correct?
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome –ignore-certificate-errorsI was supposed to replace the “remote-debugging port thingy”, with the ignore certificates corrects? That’s what I got from your directions. BUt I guess using tardcabulary, I’m a “newb” to this stuff. But it will help my current predicament not being able to access the market. And I really want to thank you for building something this, and most of all for being selfless and sharing it! Well, the paranoid person in me is still a tad worried about sharing my device ID and Google account info., but I’m trying to be optimistic and I haven’t seen any bad reports yet. Yet it could just be too early, haha, just kidding! But if you can help me out with my question I would very much appreciate, thank you in advance. p.s. 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.
it keeps crashing on me
Sorry, it didn’t work. when i download an app, it tells me that i haven’t disabled the ssl,( i do exactly what you said) ,or recheck my device id and account information, however, there is no problems with these information.
I have same problem. Using a kindle fire. Any solution?
i had the same problem.try reastarting your kindle fire.then delete that shortcut and create a new shortcut and retarget it.
Thank you, from Russia. Very good
extension.
P. S.
it’s realy works !!!

Is it possible to purchase apps that arent compatible with your device? like for example i have a lenovo thinkpad tablet and the market wont allow me to buy quill app i was wondering if i could use this to buy it is it possible?
Yes, as JimmyD said, it would be incredible if we would be able to purchase and download apps via your extension! I would love to be able to buy games the market does not officially list as compatible!
https://market.android.com
replace
https://play.google.com/store
not working for me.
1.2.1 not available to use this.
Android Martket becomes somthing like “google play” now so this trick doesnt work any more .
Wait for your update version!
Many thank for your update version
when in properties of the chrome shortcut, after adding the –ingnore-certificate-errors line when i hit ok i get a message that i have wrong path and that i have to correct it, thus not being able to disable the certificate errors, any workaround?
Copie the txt after the ” instead of between
i did it so, after reeading 5 mins ago, then it worked for like 10 secs, then stopped working
Hi And Tnx for this Usefull app
I have a Question!
I don’t Want use my current account and then create a new account in google and login with that to market! (or google play) then use that account for downloading apks from GPlay and don’t worked 🙁
is there any chance?
It will not work cause u can only us id which u use to log to your android market….
Thank you……any questions
[email protected]
I need some help.
I swear my Android device ID is 16 characters and yet when I enter it says:
ERROR: Android Device ID must be 16 characters long and only contains characters from 0-9, A-F.
Anyone mind to help? 🙁
Thanks for the Google play update. I use this app solely to save on mobile data charges when downloading huge apps. My WiFi works via proxy and we all know that market doesn’t play nice with that.
Thank you for the update! Is it possible to enable downloading of paid apps that have already been paid for?
Yes, you can. If you are buying this app you can download it.
but… from version 1.2 seems not possible, even if it results as purchased 🙁
Same problem. I just switched to another, more powerful device, and Gameloft for some reason marks some of its games not compatible, which is obviously bogus.. I purchased them, but now I can’t retrieve them even with this nice extension. Any help? update?
Yes, after 1.2 no luck.
can i use it to buy apps with my cridit card?my region can’t buy paid apps.
very very thanks
I followed the steps to disable the SSL error, still doesn’t work. 🙁
Everything worked half a hour ago. But now I had the same problem of COULD NOT disable the SSL error.
I worked now. Thanks a lot!
It isnt working for me even when i change the target on the shortcut
Just wanna say thank you, this save my whole day 😀
it is working for me……..Thank You….
I dont see the apk downloader icon on the address bar….
Any help ?
I am having the same problem – did you manage to sort it out ? icon not showing on address bar.
please reply [email protected]
thanks you.. , its work . iam so happy. 😀
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
Are you getting the icon on address bar. I do not get this icon on the address bar but it seems to be working.
Yes the ignore bit if after ..chrome.exe” -ignore
lots of people having this problem
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
this is priceless..thank you!
plz mail me device id.apk [email protected] because given code opening gtalk service but there is no device id shown.
i got it but device id shown null and email is blank what can i do??
Somehow I can’t get the –ignore-certificate-errors to work 🙁 No idea what I may be doing wrong?
Never mind, there where still some chrome processes running even with exiting chrome.
khi down toàn bị báo error sai email với device id với cả disable ssl error warning mặc dù mình đã điền đúng các thông tin và làm theo hướng dẫn của bạn :((

I would like to make this work with my Kindle Fire, but I can’t get Device ID to run on it. Any ideas?
thx, works great !
i´ve been looking a long time for such a tool !
It’s working
great thanks
No matter what I do I get the SSL error when trying to use this. I’ve uninstalled chrome and gone through the process a few times and no matter what I keep getting the error.
Same here, SSL error all time. Looks like Play market changed something:/
can’t download the file … always have to read this .. that’s all.. may be the market flow is changed.
now getting error,
asking to disable SSL error warnings, or check email and device ID
Everything is set up the way it supposed to, worked yesterday, but not today
Это будет выглядеть примерно так: C: … chrome.exe – -ignore-сертификатов ошибки
Не выходит пишет что SSL не отключен что делать? Подскажите
Thank you sir, helps a lot!
I followed the steps to disable the SSL error, still doesn’t work. 🙁
Yesterday was working fine but now it asks to diable SSL error and to check email & id, PLEASE PLEASE FIX 😛 . This extension is very handy, thanks for the amazing job… keep it up!
is anyone else finding certain aps when they attempt to download come back with a 403 – forbidden error? For example i’m trying to download the Capital one uk app, and also the itv player, both are free apps and both give a 403?
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
hXXp://forum.xda-developers.c(o)m/showthread.php?t=1516131

When i try to download this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.gvt.android.pmc7 i got the 403 error, why? I have a problem only when i try to download THIS app.
I thought we were supposed to be able to get the apk of an app that we paid for? The extension won’t work for my paid apps
chrome vision 17.0.963.79 m cannot support??
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.
Need better info on how to make this work for Mac…
What if you don’t have an Android device?
I have tried everything and it still isn’t working. I did the –ignore-certificate-errors and everything but it still won’t work.
Any chance of getting some kind of respnse? Seems to be a hit or miss program. We are all getting the popup error of SSL error, Device ID or login. All settings are correct, we just get the popup error when we hit the little green android button to download.
no deja descargar aplicaciones que no son compatibles con el dispositivo. por lo demas perfecto.
Worked well, really liked it but unfortunately it doesn’t work anymore with the ignore certificate setting.
it is saying please disable ssl warnings and check your account information !!!!
there is an error ity no longer works !!!!!!
source pls
It unloads well the applications compatible with the device, the only one failure is that it does not unload those who are not compatible. Solution?
same here
error message disable ssl
is it because i am trying to download not compatible apps?
perhaps needs update
Thank you very much, your software is very practical.If you can develop a synchronous play.google.com functions, it would be more perfect.Because I want to get to know what software is updated!Thank you!Like the simulation of a mobile version GooglePlay.Soon be able to know what software is need to be updated!
Thank you again what I said, can provide you with this software, the contents of therecord download, if there are updates, you can prompt.The first time you get the softwareupdate information!
Doesn’t work for me… I can’t get the icon to show up. Can someone help me?
Doesn’t work for me… I can’t disable the ssl error warning, i don’t know how write the flag in the direction of the shortcut. help please!!!!!

im using windows 7,
// It will look something like this: C:…chrome.exe –ignore-certificate-errors
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
Device ID for the Kindle Fire would be 0x1949, if I recall correctly from rooting.
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

Hi !
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
i think we need an explanation for certificate error message
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
I got the SSL error message as well.
just logout from the APK Downloader Options page, login again (with same E-mail and ID Device), will work again like a charm, at least worked for me, hope this will help
This worked for me Laura, thanks for the suggestion.
Tried what laura said, logging out and in.
Still doesn’t work…
how can i find dial pad ??
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 …
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
– mình cũng đã thử tìm cách lấy device id từ account, tuy nhiên không thành công
cám ơn bạn đã sử dụng và góp ý

Hello.

Great plugin, thank you very much!
One suggestion/feature request:
Some way to be able to switch between devices quicker than manually going in and typing the device ID all the time.
I have several android devices, running many different ROMs and some apps are compatible but others are not and I find myself switching often.
where the fucking fuck is the APK downloader option page??????????????
Wow, needed google account and password. I can’t imagine what will happen if we failed?
thank you vey much ..

I got a 403 error even when I put in the line, what Do I do?
This is great ! working for me
But I must be use chrome downloader to download the apk file

The ability to download purchased APKs would be nice!
I have a Blackberry playbook OS 2.0 tablet on which I can install android apps since it has android platform as you know , but I can not find the device ID . can you please tell me how can I find it ?

it doesn’t work for me. The warning box isn’t gone.
It only worked for me after several attempts. I simply repeated things I had already done before and suddenly the pink “… must disable SSL error …” was gone! Strange.
any other way to get device id
any other way to get device id it says,invalid ID when typing *#*#8225…
I do it according to your requirements.Today the SSL problem.
I think you look this!!!!
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
NEED click ‘install’ button first ,and cancel the popup window,and then u’ll see the icon appear in the address bar.
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
Maybe I didn’t understand, but did you say that google play downloaded the app directly to your Kindle Fire?
its not working for me maybe google have found a way to block it?
i have obey the intruction but when i download show massage “cannot download this app” ??
please help…
“You must disable SSL error warnings in able to use this extension. ” why? i was write it to chrome shortcut
Hello, why inform me mail and pw not correct?
To make the “SSL error” disappear just delete one of the ” – ” from the code “–ignore-certificate-errors”
This seems to be irrelevant
I wonder why I cannot find verizon in “sim Operator”, isn’t it in the USA?
it isnt working it say id error or ssl error
Same here. 2 week ago it work, but now don’t: disable ssl error!
yes ,have ways to Solve this
problem? If have ,give me a e-mail.thanks! [email protected]
can not use ,why?
it says that im using wrong email or password but both are correct :/ so whats now?
Quote from your FAQ:
“You can view the source code to make sure about this.”
So where’s the source code I can view??
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.
Yeah, I’ve checked those things, and my device ID. still wrong username/password
Thanx a lot…
still wrong email/password.
how to solve?
the downloader extension appear
The SSL ignore certificate errors is also working – no problem there.
I must go to the INSTALL window for the app.
ERROR 403
Many thanks for your reply and look forward to getting a solution. Thank you

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.
The chrome version is 17.0.963.79 This was my first attempt to use apk downloader with this chrome version.
It hasn’t been working today
Working just fine. It dint work for me in Windows XP, but it did on Windows 7.
Thanks for the app, developer. 🙂

Why does the message “ERROR: Cannot download this app.” When press the icon on the Google Play Store Please note the help about how to solve the problem. Thank you very much.
Me too!
I have the same problem
I find a solution for the problem of SLS certificate error: first I log-out of the play.google.com site. Then I log-out from the apk-downloader settings and then I relogon from the apk-downloader settings. All work ok now!
thank you.you solve my problem
I confirm it. But such solution is inconvenient. Every time you have to do logoff/logon. It is very inconvenient.

how to disable ssl warning..nid help!!!
i am unable to add –ignore-certificate-error to google chrome it says:-the name specified in the target box is not vald.make sure the path and file nam eare correct
it’s dangerous to enter google accounts credentials. I created a new google account to test it, and it didn’t work.
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
so difficult.
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 try now, but I can’t remove following messade “You must disable SSL error warnings in able to use this extension. ”
I use Mac OS 10.5.8
I try, but I can’t remove errors “Forbidden Error 403” and/or “ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND”. Why?
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.
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
Thanks bro…. i’ve got it!

I wonder if Google changed something in their market set up. I’m having the same issue as AndyRogers50.
I’d also note that when I hit https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin through Chrome, the only result I get is “Error=BadAuthentication”.
Why had i disabled SSL warning… But it still have warned to me ” please disable SSL…” & “please check my account information…”.

Trouble is Chrome was updated to 18… and this app wasn’t, since then (1.21). And that’s the reason why is not working. Hope redphoenix89 [ at ] yahoo [ dot ] com can fix it soon. I’ve already written him about this issue.

How to install this as chrome extension? It does not get recognized?
Thanks, it’s very useful for chinese user. In china, gov don’t let people get service form Google. I mean you can browse ( also need some tech method) and checkout, but cannot download it into your phone. With this tool, I can download it. Thanks very much.
ON EACH CHROME AUTO UPDATE U MUST LOGOUT/LOGIN /SAVE AND CHECK IF THE SHORTCUT IS WITH –disable-certificate-errors
Man, this is a bloody cool app. May I donate a beer or something? But not through sending you a credit card information 🙂 lamalamalama at centrum (one dot) cz

I need free apps for my kindle fire and I do not have a Device ID… Any suggestions ??
try any other android mobiles id
Hi, similar problem. Have no idea what any other mobile IDs might be! Got a list?
To get your device ID, you should dial
*#*#8255#*#* and find in there.
şifeyi giriyorum ancak doğru olmasına rağmen kabul etmiyor!….
I CANT LOGOUT
No funciona para nada alguna correccion????
My device Id is 15character.. I can’t login..
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
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
This app only works for free apps. Read the FAQ!!!
Please make a firefox addon based on this (if you can). I would be very useful.

Hi, great extension. I tried, worked with some apps, however I got “Forbidden” for others.
Any idea?
I’ve downloaded apps in the past but recent attempts always bring up the error message. I’ve checked everything as far as the link extensions are concerned & nothing has changed. 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.
working excellent. I am from Bangladesh, the price of internet pack for cell phone is too high here. I bought an android recently but was worried that i have to go to internet from my mobile phone all the time to download and install apps. now I’m very happy. thank you boss. thank you. I’m not able to express how happy I am.. thank you

How to get DEVICE ID
Thanks for this app! unfortunately, I must be doing something wrong…I’ve successfully installed APK downloader – the extension properties look correct…I try to download the Device ID app and get the ‘you don’t have any devices’ message return. Must I have an Android device to access Google Play? I have a PC and a Kindle Fire. Yes…I know…I am technologically inept… ;'(
I can’t download purchased apps… I paid for it and when i login it says purchased but your app-icon does not appear… I can’t download this app through my phone because it is to large for my cache

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…
why i cant see the option page??

thanxxx so much datss reallyy awsumm..!!!…keep posting..apps!!!
it works real smooth…(google chrome 19.0.1084.52)
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.
Muchas Gracias, Funciona M/M

hi…can you please teach me how to get the device id and how to download free android market in chinese tablet? thnx a lot!
Seems to work without disabling cert errors. Running on Dev channel. 21.0.1163
It worked! Great job 😀 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.”
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!
still working here! thanks!

Can’t download apk files. Chrome Version : Version 19.0.1084.56 m
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
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.
Just re-login, that did the trick on version 1.2.1 (Current Version)
You´re a smart guy, fellow,,,congratulations!!
Keep on workin’ on good news and useful things for all of us, mere mortals!!!
Great idea, keep up the good work. 😉
can not open apk downloader
Try downloading this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xdevel.radionorba
Err 403 forbidden
m unanble to get the extension…its jst appears for once den dissapears…what to do???
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 !
cant c green icon on my browser{chrome}..sup?
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?
Apple and its software and hardware is clearly, simply and undeniably SUPERIOR in every way shape or form to anything from the android world.
Shut the hell up Jesus!
its working
ERROR
extensions, apps, and user scriptes cannot be installed from this web site

Где кнопка DOWNLOAD???Пендосы
hi.the app is awesome.is it a way to download the market applications with a downloader ?(eg. idm or flashget,…).chrome is too slow for downloading files.
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
But where or how do I put this code? Appreciate the help! The app works great but now having to do this disabling really is annoying.
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:
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome –remote-debugging-port=9222
fiz todo o processo criei o atalho mas quando vou acessar da este erro
please disable SSL error warning
como resolver isso açguem pode me socorrer???

Thank you for this! Can I share this to my forum? all credits goes only to you.. 😉
Doesn’t Work.. It says extensions can be added from chrome web store.
thaks man it worked so smooth
it only works if you have a device that supports que app you`re trying to download, i have a Kyros Tablet, and its have a processor and a GPU better than an ipad 1, but some apps doenst run on it, not because of the processing power, but because some one on google proibited me to use some apps =D, so i can run amazing 3D games, but google play thinks that my device is not compatible…. apk downloader doenst help me!
Please make it download with Download managers
i cant log in again to another email id since i’ve saved my last account… how can i log in again??
good work dude..
This appears to be broken for right now. Anything I download states: “ERROR: Cannot download this app!”
Thank you for providing this tool, however. It’s been very useful since I’m currently living outside the US and running CyanogenMod (which makes a lot of apps say they’re incompatible).
it saying error :cannot download this app .”
i get and error named ERROR: Can’t download this app !
For all that have the error of the SSL and account info, go to the Chrome extension and look for the APK and then Options, remove your account info and complete the info again. That fixed for me. Good luck!
thanks a lot for the share….
keep up the great work…..
I can’t download anymore!
Error:Cannot Download this app ?
I posted an updated version at XDA which works with the latest Chrome versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809387
The problem was that extensions now need to use manifest version 2 and the original version by redphx uses v1.
the downloader says cannot download this app for non compatible apps but this never happened in the past …..can anyone tell me why ?
..same error to me. Using Chrome Version “20.0.1132.57 m”
I also got the “Error – please disable….” message constantly.
Using APK-Downloader options -> Logout and then
re-login did the trick for me.
error message gone! Downloads working!
i’m using version 1.2.1. but your trick didn’t solve my error problem!
also logging out from Google play and re-login,doesn’t work
I also have version 1.2.1 and relogining in worked for me! I’m using a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Serial number if that makes a difference.

Worked for me 🙂
Used Apk Downloader successfully several times in the last month. Now it has stopped working. I get a “Cannot dowload this app” message. Have checked all parameters. Have tried logging in and out. Nothing seems to help. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix.
No button appears for me on the google play store
Only appears when you are on a Google Play page of an extension
Thanks for the great work, I only get with some free apps the error: can’t download this app. Is this something to fix or a security in google play
there is no icon on addressbar.
please help
Only appears when you are on a Google Play page of an extension.
I’m using version 20.0.1132.47 m and I am able to download simpletext just like the example shows, just fine. I am not able to download Google Wallet. I looks like it is going to work and then I get an error dialog box that has “The page at codekiem.com says:” as the title and “ERROR: Cannot download this app!” as the message. I can’t download this on my Galaxy Nexus because VZW has it blocked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The problem maybe that the App may not be compatible with your device and Play Store rejects the download.
It appears to have stopped working recently. Even after reloading – logging out and back in. I says “you cannot download this app” even when they are free and I have downloaded them before (updating). Any thoughts?
Wuhhhuuuu it worked again after i have done the instructions of “name my mane”
Is imei no. and device id the same thing????

Any chance to get it working with the new Chrome version(s)? Or does anybody have an older version (19.x) of Chrome on stock? Can´t find one on the net for download…

Owesome job! Bro!
It does work!
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.
“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.
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.
Extensions ,apps,and user scripts can only be added from the chrome web store
