Hi,

I got a few questions, thanks in advance for your input:

Is it a good or common practice to host APK files on AEM for downloading?
If answer is "no", what solutions to recommend instead?

You should be able to host the file on AEM for downloading.

Create a specific folder to host the file such as /content/dam/something/downloads and all your files will go inside the downloads folder.

Now once you publish the file, the file can be downloaded from the end user/dispatcher URL using the path.

You can follow the same process to upload the file that you follow while uploading an asset.

Let's say I am uploading a file at /content/dam/abcd/selendroid-test-app.apk

then I can download the file by accessing http://localhost:4502/content/dam/abcd/selendroid-test-app.apk URL and it will download the file for me.

Thanks!
