But then should i change the name of the file to ".zip"? because the file i have is already in the format of ".apk" and the tutorial you sent says that it only works on ".zip" files right?
The "NOT_APK" part of your error means you're trying to install something that isn't an APK. If the file extension is an APK then it's corrupted and you'll need to re-download it.
Yeah, it was some weird bug... The downloaded file had the ".apk" format but was giving the error, but then I had to uninstall and reinstall a few times until it decided to work! Thanks for your attention tho! :)
