Dear friends,
I search for a solution, to distribute original Google Apps without Google Play.
My devices are originally Samsung devices with current OS and they´re managed with Blackberry UEM Enterprise Management.
My problem right now is, that my users don´t have a Google ID and they don´t want to create one either.
Since I don't have a way to go through an Enterprise App Store, my only one option is, to push the *chrome*.apk V.68.x to all of my devices.
But where I can download official Google *.apk ressources like the official chrome App?
Best regards,
Marc
APKmirror - It's easy to find
Dear @eavandijk83,
thank you for your fast response. I know about apkmirror, but our policies don't allow to fetch *.apk files from unsecure sources. My question is, it is possible to fetch google *.apk´s from official Source?

These are from an official source. People get them from G-Play and then upload them to APKMirror.
If your device policy doesn't let you install apps from an insecure source or unknown location, there's no other way that I know of to get it other than the play store.
You can aurora store, it's a front end for play store without gapps

Hi everyone. I'm new on android so this issue confuses my mind. If i have to download an older version of an application, how can i find an older version of it. For instance the newest version of "A" application is 2.2.1. But i want to do downgrade/download the older version for instance 2.1.0. How can i get it? From apk sites or such like that?
If so what is the widest and best apk sites for this to download ??
Thanks for your replies...
contact the app developer and ask for it is probably the easiest/quickest route

Thanks for your reply firstly. But i asked this question as a general knowledge. Before my new android phone, i was using the iOS and i know how to do it. (i knew the .ipa sources and methods) Also i did it sometimes. But in android i dont know any quality apk sources for instance for older versions of some base applications (that has receive lots of updates) whatsapp, instagram, facebook etc...
Many of the apk sites will be no more than Warez sites .
Google is always your best source of apks bearing in mind the above .
Possibly a search or an ask on XDA .
Old versions is not something normally asked for .

all the apps on play store have email contacts, so I would just email them direct

Hello
I am pretty new to this so please bare with me .
I want to install: Google Account Manager, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework and Google Play Store based off Kitkat 4.4.4. I did some research and I can find .apk for the above but I am not able find out if they are based of Kitkat 4.4.4 or not.
Instead of installing some random apk, I would like to create an apk of my own which is based off Kitkat 4.4.4. What all is required to get started? I am pretty novice to all these, please help me out.
Thanks
K2.

Anybody? Greatly appreciate some help.
Hi
I purchased Honor 7 (PLK-AL10) 64GB from Aliexpress.com but aftere received it, I found that the rom is Chinese version and I faced problem to create google accounts as other regular devices.
How can I change the Chinese rom to international version? is it available or not yet?
please advise
my regards
Not advisable to change, because it also changes the firmware for important things like GSM<E.
But the fix is fairly easy: go into the Huawei app store k(NOT! the google playstore) and download the the google playstore, and google contac synch. (just search for "google" and based on the icons download what you need)
Once the google playstore and contact synch work, you can forget the Huawei store.
Alternatively you can search here in XDA for "gapps" as an installable apk. Careful though, there are many fakes & infected o es out there, so stick to xda!
Free advice: when buying in china always request that they install google apps.
Thank you for your reply.
I did as you advised that to go to Chinese market and download the google play but please note that it will work temporary maybe one day or less.
My regards
I installed Gapps (Play store, contacts) from Huawei store on my Honor and it works successfully, without any problem. (but Play Store self-updated to newest version).
GMaps also works.
Please can anyone help me find these apks. I'm on lineageOS 14.1 I can't install them with the play store and apkmirror both versions tell me my phone is has been modified.
Thank you
The app is programmed that way so I doubt it can be bypassed without being checked at server side.
The only other ways is to try to hide the fact your phone is modified or unmodify it.

Any more ideas?
Because you're using an outdated version of Android.
So it's not possible at all? I thought for an old version of Android I just had to find the right old version of the apps (apk) and installed them.

Even if you did that, it'll ask you to update your apps.
And you can't manually just add all the apps you need? (like Google Play Services in my case)
I find it surprising that this old Android cannot go back to the state it was 10 years ago, if I can get the same software (apk)
In general, the problem parsing the package means that your system software is too old to install that apk file.
Can't you upgrade your Acer A500 system software via OTA at first?
On the other hand, does your mobile phone system really have no built-in Google service framework?

Thanks for the idea. I have never done something like that. Where can I find a OTA image for A500? If you have any instructions for installation it would be also appreciated
Thanks for all the answers. To clarify:
I had Google Services Framework 4.0.4-278776
I just installed Google Play Services 8.1.04 (2215451-036) (036) (successfully, as per indications in this post)
I had install Youtube 11.01.70
When I try to run Youtube tells me that there is a newer version and doesn't go further.
This tablet won't run anything past android 4.0.3, at least without some hacks. With hacks this will run with android 5.1, thus allowing the installation of YouTube.
