Linking APK for automatic install on my website

It looks like I cant use WordPress to host my .apk because the site doesn't allow this for security reasons. Anyone else have this problem?

Does the Android OS automatically start the install activity when the apk is downloaded? I know that amazon store automatically takes you to the install activity but how do i make this happen with a direct link to the apk?

Yes, you just need to provide a download link for your *.apk file, and Android will recognize it as an Android app, and initiate the install when appropriate.

If you want to support a link to your app in the Play Market, you can supply this URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=your.package.id
