You might be able to do this via “pm” using the os.execute function

Idea code (untested, not sure if it will work)

local path = system.pathForFile("test.apk", system.DocumentsDirectory) -- put the path to the downloaded APK here -- Install the apk (should bring up the app install prompt) os.execute("pm install " .. path)
