APKMirror Installer (Official)

What does this app do?

APKMirror Installer is a helper app that permits you to install .apkm, .xapk, and .apks app bundle recordsdata in addition to regular APK files.

We've additionally added a highly requested bonus feature for normal APK files: if sideloading an APK fails and you wish to know why, you can now see the exact failure purpose by initiating the installation from APKMirror Installer.

Split APKs - huh?

In mid-2018 at Google I/O, Google announced a new dynamic app supply format called App Bundles. We extremely advocate reading this AndroidPolice post because the illustrations will make the concept lots easier to understand.

Otherwise, here is a quick explainer. Before app bundles, builders both created a single fat APK with all the libraries and resources in them or manually managed multiple APK variants (for example, arm64 320dpi, x86 320dpi, arm64 640dpi, and so forth.).

The new App Bundles permit builders to switch the burden of dealing with variants to Google, which then splits the app launch into a quantity of chunks - therefore the time period break up APKs. Each launch then consists of a base APK and one or more APK splits.

For example, a single release could now arrive as 5 recordsdata: base.apk arm64.split.apk 320dpi.cut up.apk en-us.lang.split.apk es-es.lang.cut up.apk.

Unfortunately, you'll find a way to't set up all these APK splits by just tapping them in your device - you probably can solely install the bottom APK, which will then crash because of missing sources.

This is where APK Mirror Installer is obtainable in.

Alright, so what are these .apkm files?

As many apps are migrating to the cut up APK format that cannot be simply shared and installed without a companion app, APKMirror has developed an answer to adapt to these modifications and proceed to allow straightforward and safe sideloading choices.

Each .apkm file is comprised of a base APK and numerous split APKs. Once you've put in APK Mirror Installer and downloaded the .apkm file you need to put in, simply tap on it or use APKMirror Installer to find the obtain location. You will be ready to see the exact contents of every .apkm file and choose solely the splits you wish to install to save heaps of house on your device.

APK Mirror Installer and the underlying infrastructure took many months to develop at a considerable price, so we hope you perceive why the app and site are ad-supported. For those that favor to avoid in-app advertisements, there are various subscription options to go ad-free and unlock extra features.

Issues and bugs

Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco MIUI users

Unfortunately, Xiaomi modified MIUI and particularly the a half of Android that APKMirror Installer makes use of for installing split APKs.

There is a workaround that should work - disabling MIUI optimizations in developer settings. Please attempt that, and the set up should succeed.
