XAPK file was originally created by APKPure. It is a file extension that contains seperate APKs or package OBB cache assets files to save the data size so developers can upload their Android apps to Play Store within the maximum size limit 100 MB. APKPure APP is one of the most reliable sources to download and install safe XAPK files on Android.
Unlike APK files, you can't simply download and install the XAPK files on your phone through default installer. And APKPure XAPK Installer is the easiest way to help you install and manage APK / XAPK file directly on Android with one click.
APKPure APP allows you to quickly and safely install XAPK files on Android operating system without region restrictions. What’s more, APKPure APP can help you scan and manage all the XAPK and APK files in one place. You can update any XAPK and APK file you want with only one click, or uninstall the unwanted files as easily as you can imagine.
APK (Android Package) is a standard package file format most widely used on Android to distribute and install mobile applications and middleware. APK file is officially recognized by Google and can be installed on Android device by default installer.
XAPK file is similar but more complicated than APK as this standard zip format contains Android app bundles of seperate APK packages, or OBB file and graphics data in a different package.
Simply speaking, there are two types of XAPK files:
XAPK = Android App Bundle (base APK file + Split APKs files)
XAPK = APK file + OBB file
XAPK files will save large space of data when you download and transfer large apps on the mobile phone or tablet. Moreover, you can save a lot of time to dowdnload XAPK files. Last but not least, XAPK files lets you download and install region-limited apps without any hassle.
All the XAPK and APK files on APKPure is 100% safe. XAPKs and APKs on APKPure will be verified prior to publishing. APKPure requires app developers to use a trusted and verified digital signature, and the downloadable file must be original and has not been modified in any way.
Android App Bundle is a new Android upload format to generate more optimized APKs that are served to users, such as the base APK, dynamic feature APKs, configuration APKs, and (for devices that do not support split APKs) multi-APKs.
Google Play requires that the compressed APK be no more than 100 MB. Each time you upload an APK using the Google Play Console, you have the option to add one or two expansion .obb files to the APK which can be any format you choose (ZIP, PDF, MP4, etc.) with size up to 2 GB. This XAPK file format ensures users to download without corruption.
