How to open XAPK file?

An often recurring problem with Google Android XAPK Application Package Format is that XAPK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XAPK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XAPK file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Pure APK Install

The first step is to check if the computer has the Pure APK Install program installed. This can be achieved by typing Pure APK Install into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support XAPK files.

Step 2. Create association of Pure APK Install with XAPK files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XAPK file to open in the Pure APK Install application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pure APK Install application as the default for handling the XAPK file.

Step 3. Update Pure APK Install to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Pure APK Install program, it is possible that Google Android XAPK Application Package Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the APKPure website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XAPK file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The XAPK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XAPK file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XAPK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XAPK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XAPK file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XAPK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XAPK files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the XAPK file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XAPK to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XAPK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
