Tap the "+" button (Add App). 3. Fill in the fields: - Owner: solkin - Repository: appteka-android - Filter: *.apk 4. Tap "Add". Step 3: The app does the rest! - Downloads the latest APK from the GitHub release. - Automatically extracts name and package name. - Installs the app on your phone. - Adds the app to your list. 🔤 What are filters? (Introduction to Regular Expressions) The filters you use in GitAPK are simplified regular expressions (regex). They act like "masks" that help the app identify which APK files to download among all those available in a release. Special characters you can use: - * (asterisk) replaces any group of characters. For example, *arm64* matches "app-arm64.apk", "file-arm64-v8a.apk", or "arm64-release.apk". - ? (question mark) replaces a single character. For example, app-?.?.?.apk matches "app-1.2.3.apk" but not "app-1.2.3.4.apk". - [ ] (square brackets) represents a range of characters. For example, app-[0-9]*.apk matches files that start with a digit after "app-". Practical examples: *.apk matches all APK files. *universal.apk matches only files ending with "universal.apk". app-*.apk matches files starting with "app-" and ending with ".apk". *arm64*.apk matches APK files containing "arm64" in their name. app-[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].apk matches versioned files like "app-1.2.3.apk". 💡 Tip: If you're unsure what to use, always start with *.apk and make the filter more specific if needed! 🎯 How to Find the Right Filter Method 1: Simple Always use *.apk – it works in most cases! Method 2: Check the Releases 1. Go to: https://github.com/solkin/appteka-android/releases 2. Look at the available APK files. 3. Use the pattern you see. Examples: - If you see "app-release.apk", use "*.apk". - If you see "app-v4.2.3.apk", use "app-*.apk". - If you see "app-arm64-v8a-release.apk", use "*arm64*.apk". - If you see "app-universal.apk", use "*universal.apk". 📋 Practical Examples - Anytime Player: amugofjava / anytime_podcast_player / *.apk - HeliBoard: Helium314 / HeliBoard / *.apk - Material Files: zhanghai / MaterialFiles / *.apk - microG Services: microg / GmsCore / com.google.android.gms-*.apk - microG Services (Huawei): microg / GmsCore / com.google.android.gms-*-hw.apk - Nekogram: Nekogram / Nekogram /*.apk - Notally: OmGodse / Notally / *.apk 🔄 How to Update Apps Automatic: 1. On the home screen, tap "Search Updates". 2. The app checks all GitHub releases. 3. Apps with updates show the download icon. Manual: - If you see a newer version, tap the download icon next to the app. - The app downloads and installs the latest version. ❓ Common Issues "App not found" - Check that owner and repo are spelled exactly as on GitHub. - Some apps don't publish APKs in releases. - Try the *.apk filter. "No updates visible" - The app is already on the latest version. - The repository only uses prereleases (not supported). - GitHub API may be temporarily unavailable. "Can't install" - Go to Settings → Security and enable "Install from unknown sources". - Grant permission when prompted. 📌 Note: GitAPK is a fork of ApkGit, maintained and developed independently.
