rails download file from public folder

In my local, I have written

   <%= link_to 'App', "/App.apk", data: { no_turbolink: true } %>

It is working fine simply downloading App.apk file which is present in public folder

But on production, the same link gives the error

 Not Found

 The requested URL /App.apk/ was not found on this server.

Can anyone give me any idea why this is behaving differently on different environment

Thankyou in advance

Instead of adding path in direct link, create one action which download the file from public folder.

routes.rb

get 'download_apk'

in your controller add below action which downloads apk file

def download_apk
  send_file("#{Rails.root}/public/App.apk")
end
