3 hours ago, one of our @APKMirror users asked to add fuzzy search to APKMirror.com. You know, the one that corrects your misspellings.
It's actually been sitting on my todo list since 2023. But I'm busy doing taxes and the todo list has hundreds of items.
Before AI, I would have filed the user request and the feature might have seen the light of day years down the road.
But it's 2026. I assigned the task to @cursor_ai, did some steering, and... now we have fuzzy search on APKMirror (see screenshot).
I'm going to let it bake for a bit and run it by my main developer, but it's pretty much ready to go, complete with unit tests.
Modern web development is wild in the age of AI. And so much fun.

In the spirit of this victory, I will once again ask if @TimSweeneyEpic will now allow @Fortnite and @EpicGames on @APKMirror. Let's do this, Tim!

For the first time, APKMirror Installer has built-in translations (to 49 languages, powered by Gemini).
As part of this release, we had to drop support for Android 5.0 and 5.1. Users of these really old devices can still install an older version of APKMirror Installer (1.11.1).

After months of dev work, we are starting a staged rollout of @APKMirror Installer v2.0 with the Material 3 Expressive redesign.
This version is currently rolling out to 1% of users, but you can also take it for a spin here: apkmirror.com/apk/apkmirror/…
Some screenshots attached.

We're cautiously optimistic.
Viva la resistance! The Android community has spoken and revolted on the issue of sideloading and developer verification, and Google has listened!
"Empowering experienced users
While security is crucial, we’ve also heard from developers and power users who have a higher risk tolerance and want the ability to download unverified apps.
Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn't verified.
We are designing this flow specifically to resist coercion, ensuring that users aren't tricked into bypassing these safety checks while under pressure from a scammer. It will also include clear warnings to ensure users fully understand the risks involved, but ultimately, it puts the choice in their hands. We are gathering early feedback on the design of this feature now and will share more details in the coming months."

So at this point, I'm at a loss. We need help from someone on Google's Search Console or Chrome Safety teams so that we can either get verified in Search Console or just find out what the problem is.
Twitter, can you help?

I've been trying to figure this out all evening. Our entire Cloudflare R2 subdomain all of a sudden got marked as "dangerous" by Chrome's Safe Browsing.
The reason given: "Distribute uncommon downloads" which is a nonsensical description.
It's likely a single APK Google doesn't like anymore for some reason, but here's the worst part: Google doesn't tell us what it is.

It's clear from the EO that US companies are protected from federal enforcement of PAFACA. However, there's a risk that state prosecutors might go after such companies.
We will continue to monitor the situation.

Following assurances from US Attorney General Pam Bondi, both Google and Apple restored TikTok apps in their respective stores today.
Therefore, they are also back on @APKMirror, effective immediately.
