For some reason, sending a request to the APK URL (https://cloud.liteapks.com/download/AdGuard/AdGuard%20v4.2.8%20[Premium].apk) returns an HTML page instead of an APK. Obtainium is expecting an APK and tries to "install" it, resulting in this error.

It looks like they've put something in place to prevent this kind of web scraping (not sure what exactly). You only get an APK if you click the link on their page. #709 is similar.

So this isn't a bug. It would require a more sophisticated way of grabbing the APK to get around their requirements.
