Command to install APK or APP files from a URL

[tian000]

Feature Request

There should be a command like installApp - that allows you to install an APP or APK file from a URL

Why it is needed

Sometimes you want to test the interaction between different apps - installApp would provide a convenient way to install these apps.

Right now I am downloading APKs via Chrome, and I have to toggle a bunch of security settings to get it to work.

This sounds like a cool idea to me. Thank you for sharing it with us!

A contribution would be welcome!

To clarify a bit more, the scope would be to add new installApp command, which accepts a local path (relative to workspace).

appId: my.normal.app
---
- installApp:
    path: ./apks/my-additional-app.apk
- installApp:
    url: https://github.com/Albert221/FastShopping/releases/download/v3.0.4/FastShopping.apk
- launchApp

To narrow down scope, we could decide to only allow for path, and make it the user's responsibility to download the APK themselves. It'd also make implementation of this feature simpler.

Hello @bartekpacia Can you assign this issue to me? I can develop the install with the path.
