Manually install the xap file download on the phone

I tried to install some xap application that downloaded from Windows Phone store on Mobile. I moved them to Downloads folder and tried to install them from Store Application but there was no Option called "install local app".

I came up on the PC and just moved some file in Downloads folder and then the "install local app" appeared in Store Application.

Why do i can't install xap application that downloaded by phone on Windows Phone?

is there any trick that i have to do to install app ?

When I need to install .xap file to a phone I usually use a tool called Application Deployment. It's a part of Windows Phone SDK.

You just connect your phone to a computer, locate a xap file in the tool and let the tool do the rest.

You need to have your phone developer unlocked.
