The day before yesterday, a colleague from Kingsoft network asked me a question: many users reflected that the androidmobile app file on the website was xxx.apk and downloaded in IE browser. The extension name was automatically renamed xxx.zip and cannot be copied to the mobile phone for installation. I found that because the APK file itself is a compressed package, if the user's computer is installed with WinRAR (85% installation volume, use IE to download the APK file, the extension name will be automatically changed to unzip .zip ".

If your download server is an nginx server, use CONF/mime in the nginx installation directory. location of the types file. Add the following statement to specify the MIME type of the APK file as application/vnd. android. package-archive:

Application/vnd. Android. Package-archive APK;

Many websites have been automatically renamed "“xxx.zip" during the download of xxx.apk6. some of them are well-known websites that provide Android download, such as Sina Weibo and jiebian.
