Google Play "Downloader" Application

I've created an application which only purpose is to download the real full-featured application from a server of mine, ask the user to accept the permissions and install it.

I know that there are some regulations for the Apple App store about this kind of "downloader" applications, so i was wondering if there is any sort of policy or term of use that might be violated if i decide to upload this app to the Google Play store.

Thanks

I believe what you are doing is ok, but would most likely be frowned upon by Google, as they want people to use the Play Store.

Quote from the article:

Malicious scripts and password phishing scams are also prohibited on Google Play, as are apps that cause users to unknowingly download or install apps from sources outside of Google Play.

As long as your are informing the user of the download, and not trying to make money, you're good.
