Fix APK Parsing Errors

Required Server Configuration

1

Add MIME Type

Add APK MIME type to server configuration

2

Set Correct Headers

Configure proper headers for APK files

3

Enable Byte Serving

Support partial content for large files

4

Disable GZIP

Prevent compression of binary files

# Apache .htaccess configuration
AddType application/vnd.android.package-archive .apk
<FilesMatch "\.apk$">
Header set Content-Type application/vnd.android.package-archive
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
SetEnv no-gzip 1
</FilesMatch>

Nginx Configuration

# Nginx configuration
location ~* \.apk$ {
add_header Content-Type application/vnd.android.package-archive;
add_header Content-Disposition attachment;
gzip off;
expires max;
}

Why This Matters

Android requires specific MIME types and headers to properly parse APK files. Without these, the file gets corrupted during download.

Common Issues

  • Server compressing APK files (GZIP)
  • Wrong MIME type (text/plain instead of application/vnd.android.package-archive)
  • Missing Content-Disposition header
  • Byte serving not enabled for large files
