Is there a safe way to download the apk file without an account?
Just found a new app that allows .apk to be downloaded from the google play store without a google account. I tried it and it works. I downloaded 2 apps from the play store to a download folder without installing them and without any google credentials. (Don't have a google account on the tablet) (Not rooted)

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.git...min.yalpstore/

It's on fdroid. Which is my reason for posting something that may violate google's TOS. Plus the original question was allowed to stay up.

You can try using Apptogame's Play Store. A safe version for Android: https://apptogame.com/play-store-apk-free-download/

No, you need to pay for them.

Yalp store has been replaced by Aurora store.

Download the APK you want to install
Navigate to your phone settings menu then to the security settings. Enable the Install from Unknown Sources option
Use a file browser and navigate to your download folder
The app should safely install.
