## Description

**App Installer** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to streamline the process of managing and installing APK files on your Android device. It scans your internal storage or SD cards for APK files, presenting a unified list that displays vital information such as app name, icon, version, APK file size, package details, and required permissions. Users can quickly install an app or delete its APK file with a single tap.

The extension also provides clear installation status indicators: green for up-to-date installed apps, yellow for apps that have an older installed version than the APK, red for apps not installed, and warning icons when the app requires a higher Android version than your device's. Additionally, you can share your favorite apps easily with friends using the share feature. Note that on devices running Android 11 or newer, "All Files Access Permission" must be enabled for full functionality. This tool is indispensable for users who manage apps outside of traditional app stores, ensuring organized, simple, and efficient APK handling.
