Hello,
I would like to share with you my first app for Android and iOS: it is a simple and small game where you have move a cube using the accelerometer of the smartphone. I make this game to learn game development.
The are graphics are simple and i tried to make a stressful ambiance with the sounds.
It is called Cub3 and available on appstore and playstore.
You can find downloading links on my facebook page.
I hope you will have fun
We are a small 3 member gaming company called "GMonks". We have recently launched a mobile game app on the Android platform called "Guess The Brand". The concept of this Quiz game is very simple, and is based on our memory of all the print & television ads we see everyday around us. Using hints provided, the player has to guess famous brand’s icons and logos. We currently have 12 Fun levels carefully made for exciting Game play experience, at the same time keeping it very simple and fun for the end user. It has a very user friendly UI and we are constantly updating the app as we get more feedback from users. Please download and check it out on Google Play Store.

1. Learn a supported programming language: I would recommend learning C# (since there are more resources available for it for UWP development).
C# Tutorial Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jeDwO-4rIw&list=PLm-PcOa0HEDbnEdssI8lFgeY9NjI9u6RN
2. Learn how to make UWP apps: You would need to learn how to design the apps and how to code specifically for UWP
UWP Tutorial Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiaUzO72tqE&list=PLi2hbezQRVS0cPMeW3uDlUHnO_rPvJCV9
3. You are free to do anything you want now: Feel free to experiment with APIs you find in the Microsoft Docs and stuff you find online.
4. Unrestricted freedom: When you submit your app to the Microsoft Store, you have to meet requirements which limit what your app is allowed to do. However, you are free to share packages that use those restricted capabilities. With those capabilities, I was able to create things like the Third Party app store, app installer, app launcher etc. You could potentially make your own third-party versions of the stock apps with these.
Here is a list of capabilities with namespaces related to them. (The restricted ones are further down): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/app-capability-declarations
By creating more amazing apps, you make the community even better! Thank you
P.S. Please make this sticky, this would really help newcomers and make this forum even better!
Shameless plug to my app installer lol: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...d-games/uwp-app-launcher-source-code-t3667562
Do you have apps on the windows store?
Yes. I've made apps like: Pomodoro Timer UWP and Audio Trimmer UWP
How about whatsapp client?

Not worth the effort honestly. Would be nice to port Chromium though.
EDIT-- This post is super old (but still works).
Another method (maybe better for your use case?) is the Aurora store. Please see the COMMENTS SECTION.
How To Download any app on the playstore, Without installing GMS, GAPPS, AMAZON, Or any other App Store
EVOZI:
https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
GOOGLE PLAY STORE:
Android Apps on Google Play
Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.
play.google.com
Simply paste the playstore link to evozi, of the app you want to download!
This is not warez, you Can Not Download Paid apps.
This site just caches and backs up all our favorite apps.
Rarely, if you're looking for something too obscure, it will not be able to locate it.
Have Fun
Google Play Store lets you download and install Android apps on an Android-powered phone or tablet or emulator if GMS Core already are installed thereon.
Sometimes evozi will say something about "you're being rate limited" and it won't work. I think this is bc they are getting too much traffic. I use Evozi in this example, as it is the cleanest (adless) experience, but do bare in mind you can always use other Mirrors~! sites like APKpure.com are mostly safe
any idea how does https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ work as am trying to automate some work and i dont want to depend on apk-downloader or any other mirror
@synackers sorry I just now had the time to research what I wanted to share. There's a "store" that has access to the playstore repositories, that is open source, and gives the user the freedom to choose to enable google features or not. This works on windows phones too and I would guess WSA too?
It is called the "aurora store" it's website is here:
auroraoss.com
This is still new to me so I can not explain it personally but the knowledge is available
This article explains a little about it and shows pictures
Maybe they have a github repo somewhere you can obtain the code you need to dl things
Hope it helps!
Hi Jeneh , to be honest am not interested in any open source apk mirroring available in internet
am seeking to understand how auroraoss or evozi actually works behind the screen ... how do they give you apk to be downloadable is also fetched from other mirror or do they have google developer and google offer any api to play store ..etc
more deep technical details is of my interest . i do appreciate your feedback
@synackers The Aurora Store is different from evozi or other sites like evozi, in that it actually accesses the repositories, ie the link to the android app in question.
For instance: to download the app "Termux" a call is made to get the app from com.termux and it goes on to install and build from there, the latest software.
When using evozi or apk mirror, they save actual hard copies of the apps to their servers to share to users, which could be any older version of the app.
Evozi regularly redownloads the more popular apps from the play store and they take requests. However there is No version choice available. The downloaded apks hash signatures will match the playstore app sigs for that app version.
Sites like apk mirror and others tend to keep all the older app versions and provide a choice which version to download. This is my only use case for these as they are more risky and you should vet the sigs on them.
Here is aurora's gitlab https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore
This link has all the code to be able to go through and find exactly what you need.
Some info on the code
"Aurora Store was originally based on Sergei Yeriomin's Yalp store. Aurora Store v4.0 is a rewrite of version 3 in Kotlin"
The developer of the store has made a page here on xda that maybe they would be willing to give better insight to a specific question you have in the installation process to provide the technicals.
Outside of Aurora, it may be beneficial to learn about PackageInstaller to be able to manually install and or uninstall apps with code. Or Package Manager, if you open that spoiler and select the "PM" option you can see all the code for using it.
Hi Jenneh ,
much appreciate your response and cooperation |
https://www.codevoila.com/post/77/how-to-install-or-uninstall-an-android-apk-file-programmatically this is definitely valuable and its crystal clear for me on how aurora works.. i had a glance at the code in github .
now my challenge or use case which i want to achieve is as following ;
1. need to take APK directly from play store ( i dont mind if google offer paid API which am not aware or seen )
this should be automated off android physical phone / or emulator
working in other project ^^ and stuck in this point
what i have noticed indeed evozi take package from playstore cause i checked an APK which recently was published and not available in any other mirror site
Aruroa still need mobile phone or emulator to work
Thanks again and appreciate your cooperation
With regards to thread's title "Download Any Apk Off The Playstore Without installing Google, AMAZON, or Any other APP Store" take note that you of course need an app store to get APKs from.
Never make use of Aptoide: it's Large, Decentralized, Dangerous.
Aptoide is one of the most sophisticated app sources. The store works with a distributed network of different store providers and combines them on a unified platform. However, this poses significant security risks.
Truely not what am seeking , any mirror is not an enterprise grade options cause security risk is high so if there is any way to download directly apk from play store without the need for emulator or device would be much appreciated
The app store with least security risks is Google Play Store.
Apps from outside of the Google Play Store are also scan using Google Play protect on the device, it is a security risk to install apps outside of the Play Store but as long as you trust the app developer you should be fine.
well, what is the case if i need to automate a way for MDM solutions
IDK.
Probably MDM isn't not applicable if the managed devices differ in Android version and ARM architecture.
