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.
Put APK Installer in the OS X Dock and then just Drag and drop any .apk file on it. Currently connected devices will have that apk installed inmediately.
Double Click on any .apk file and get your app installed on currently connected devices.
To do it properly you must set up the file association first:
โ + 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.
- Make sure to have Android SDK downloaded and PATH set up in
.bash_profile
(See how to do it below). - Download the
Apk Installer.app.zip
, uncompress it and drag and drop to your Application* - 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.
- Open Terminal and write
touch ~/.bash_profile
- Then
open -e ~/.bash_profile
which will open EditText. Do not close it yet. - Open Finder.
- Navigate to the folder containing Android SDK.
- Drag and drop platform-tools folder from Finder window to Terminal window.
- Copy that path. Typically it looks like
/Users/<yourname>/Downloads/android-sdk/platform-tools
- Go back to open EditText document and paste there the copied path prepending it with
export PATH=$PATH:
- Save and close EditText document and Done!
- Finally you should have something like this:
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/<yourname>/Downloads/android-sdk/platform-tools
