Downloading APK for playstore #47

Is there a way to build capability to download the APK file or generate a download link to APK with marketID or play store URL as input

You can't download apk files with this gem. Most likely it isn't possible with screen scraping so you would need to reverse engineer the play store app.

Could you please explain the process of reverse engineering the play store app to get the apk file if you are aware of it.

Thank you
