APK Installer for OS X

This app allows you to make a typical double click on any .apk file. It will automatically run adb install command to the connected devices.

*Note: the gifs are from old version. The current version doesn't show any notification. It just installs the app on the connected device.

*Note 2: If you have issues, see /tmp/apk_installer_log.txt

Usage 1

Move APK Installer to the OS X Dock and then just Drag and drop any .apk file on it. Currently connected device will have that apk installed inmediately.

Usage 2

Double Click on any .apk file and get your app installed on currently connected device.

To do it properly you must set up the file association first:

• ⌘ + i on any .apk file.
• Click on "Open with" dropdown.
• Select Other..
• Navigate to your Applications if not already there and choose the APK Installer app.
• Finally click on Change All button in the same Info window.

Installation

• Download the Apk Installer.app.zip from latest releases, uncompress it and drag and drop to your Applications folder*

• IMPORTANT: Don't forget to go "System Settings > Security & Privacy > Allow apps downloaded from..". And press Open anyway if your system complains that this app was downloaded from unknown sources.

• IMPORTANT2: Although the app seems to quit inmediately, let it 10s and the apk will appear on your device. Hovewer adb gets stuck and second try will fix it
