Sadly, it still doesn't support most of the apps I attempt to download. Here's a list:

That's just a few.

I'm thinking that Google corrected some of the coding in Chrome as it regards to the Play Store to prevent people from downloading apps that WILL work with your devices, but still declare them incompatible.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
I also notice this problem. Didn't worked with any app that Google was saying to be incompatible with my device.

[Android Apps and Games] Bexton:
I had no problems downloading the app with the extension (find attached). Is it labeled as compatible with your device in the play store?

I was able to download the apps that are labeled as compatible in play store. The Huffington Post and the CNN link were for Tablets only, so they failed. But when I tried their apps for phones, I was able to download those as well.

You can't know. But if you set up everything correct, you can be almost sure that you can download all apps that are labeled as compatible with your device in Play Store.

Me personally

, I never found an app that was labeled as compatible and I was not able to download it via the extension. Whenever it is labeled as compatible, I can download it.

@Felimenta97: There're a few exceptions; for a few apps I was able to download them even though the Play Store said it would be incompatible. However, as said above, a general rule of thumb is that you will be able to download only the apps that are labeled as compatible for your device.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
I see. But if you could work on that it would be nice. Some apps work on my phone, just play store is crazy about that.

I tried modding the extension but for some reason it even fails with localhost instead of this thread, just replacing the 1 line containing the url *confused* (not a chrome extension guy so probably missing something there. more of a web dev)

Maybe if you'd explain why that is and why it needs some site in the first place I'd be able to figure it out.
[Android Apps and Games] singlove3:
I cannot download, too. I get the error "ERROR: Cannot download this app!" for an app that should be downloadable.

Could someone help me to download? please.

[Android Apps and Games] b1ggjoe:
Hey Gents,

Ok, like many I am also getting the following error message: ERROR: Cannot download this app!

Probably due to the fact that I am running the following latest/greatest version of Google Chrome: Version 23.0.1271.91 m.

When will this Extension be updated to support the newest version of Chrome?

Thanks!

BJ

using an older version Chrome from filehippo the APK downloader still works.

Downloaded the IronPortable browser, installed the extension and nothing.

Hi, this extension seems not to work with the newest chrome release 23, is there any plan to support this release or how to get a older release of chrome to run this extension correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] Lekensteyn:
I started looking at it yesterday and noticed that I got a gzipp-ed response back (the response type is application/binary). Then I used jsxcompressor to decompress it, but then I get a *page* with a Forbidden message. If you are a developer you may want to have a look at a PHP implementation at thomascannon.net/blog/2011/06/downloading-apks-from-android-market/

Does it work on Windows 8 Pro?
[Android Apps and Games] 5318008:
Try it and let us know what happens.
[Android Apps and Games] rhysd:
Finally got this working for me after much googling. Miq Syd had the clever idea of using a portable older version (version 20) of Chrome.

Use the steps in this forum in conjunction with those here:

edit: I'm a noob member and can't post links yet. Try h t t p : // testedsolution.blogspot.in

Note that the portable version can be changed to your region and have the extension installed and it will keep these changes even after closing and re-opening. In other words it's not a static mobile version of Chrome but a configurable one.

Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] swat4samp:
R u sure it works??And should we uninstall latest google chrome??
[Android Apps and Games] Lekensteyn:
I got it fixed for Chromium 23. It required a rewrite because of policy changes that cause captures/modifications of the *clients.google.com domain being blocked.

I'll polish it a further more with my brother and then get it published in a public git repository. Stay tuned, it should be ready tomorrow or the day thereafter.
[Android Apps and Games] swat4samp:
Thats a good start thnx in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] Lekensteyn:
As promised, the repo and a zip:

Chrome extension directly available on https://lekensteyn.nl/apk-downloader/

Project repo (zip at downloads): https://github.com/Lekensteyn/apk-downloader

Changelog for 1.4.1 - 2013-01-13:

Packaging-only change, add update URL to manifest file and provided ready-to-install CRX file.

Changelog for version 1.4 - 2012-12-09:

Rewrite Javascript core of extension, do not make it look too obfuscated.

Chromium 23 compatibility. Due to restrictions on changing headers for clients.google.com, a new approach on retrieving the download URL and actually downloading an APK is implemented.

Due to the rewrite, you should not need to disable SSL warnings anymore.

Add help to options page.

Hide SIM operator options by default as you usually do not need those.

@OP: please update the first post. Contributions are always welcome, simply do a pull request.

How to use the latest one
[Android Apps and Games] houtx2:
Still cannot get it to work for some reason.

1. downloaded version 1.4

2. loaded unpacked extension in Chrome version 23.0.1271.95 m

3. completed the options page

4. went to Google Play to download app "Next Issue"

5. Google Play displays "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."

5. clicked the address bar icon and the message ERROR: Cannot download this app! is displayed

What am I doing wrong? I used to use the original extension all the time before it got broken.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Lekensteyn:
Same as in the first post except that you do not need to disable SSL warnings.

Have you tried logging out and in using the options page? Does it work with other applications? During development I used play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mm as test program. Please ensure that you have removed the older version, and that Chrome really displays "1.4" as version (w/o Bexmod suffix).
[Android Apps and Games] houtx2:
Yes, tried log out/in.

Yes, extension says:

APK Downloader 1.4

Download APK from Google Play Store (Android Market).

Tried using another device ID without success.

No, does not work with other applications. I tried your testing app and could not download.

Older versions were removed.

Tried running incognito in case another extension was interfering but no success.

Tried rebooting my computer.

Maybe someone else will reply with the same issue.

[Android Apps and Games] Lekensteyn:
Nope, it is not possible to download purchased apps because of a restriction from the Play store. If you have bought an application, you can try editing market.js and change the line if (document.querySelector("[data-isfree=true]") != null) { to if (true) {.

I think that you cannot download APKs which are incompatible with your device. I cannot download that disney thing either.

Ask: how to download game data ?

Hi,

I already used this chrome extension for a long time and really loved it. But nowadays Google likely have a new download scheme for game data. Example: Cytus which said that total size is 171 MB but whenever I try to download using this extension it's only giving ~28 MB apk.

Installation using these apk is success but when I start the game then they start to downloading game data. There is a possibility to download the game data using this extension ?

Hi everyone! I don't want to waste time, but long story short I've followed the directions this thread and have managed to get almost everything working. I get the cute little download icon in Chrome when I'm in Google Play looking at an app but I always get "Error, cannot download this app". Now I used my device id from BlueStacks and I just wanted to ask if that could be the problem. I only really wanted one app, Love Academy (I know, embarrassing), but after seeing how it couldn't be installed from my Kindle Fire, I thought maybe I could get crafty with this extension. Either way, if someone could either help me or grab the app for me, I know, I'm asking for to much now, haha, it would help so much. Than you!
