Installing .apk's

At this time, installing APK's on Kodi 18 is broken. This section will not function correctly on versions after Kodi 17.6 Krypton.

This file is used to provide the wizard the necessary information to install external .apk files, and is typically named apks.txt. The wizard already comes with built in scrapers for the latest Kodi (stable and unstable) builds. The APK Installer menu is only shown if running on an Android device or when in developer mode.

The fields in this file are all required, and removing any of them will break your wizard.

Example apks.txt:

name="Example APK"
section="no"
url="http://your.apk.url/"
icon="http://"
fanart="http://"
adult="no"
description="A short description of the APK."

name="Example Section"
section="yes"
url="http://your.apk.file/"
icon="http://"
fanart="http://"
adult="no"
description="An example section."

Field	Description
name	The name that will show in the wizard
section	Whether this should open a separate section. Must be "yes" or "no".
url	A URL that points to an .apk file. If section="yes", then this should be a url to another apk.txt file.
icon	A URL to an icon to be shown in Kodi. This must be a 512x512 pixel .png file. Use "http://" for the default icon.
fanart	A URL to the fanart to be shown in Kodi. This must be a 512x512 pixel .png file. Use "http://" for the default fanart.
