Reader Den in his commentary on the post drew attention to the fact that downloading applications for Android, in the way I described, from the Google Play store does not work at the moment. The APK Downloader extension for the Chrome browser is now not only not working, but even missing from the Chrome store. What to do? How to download an Android application to run a computer?
I did not add to the above post, but I give download methods here, because there is a lot of material. There is no need to register for Firefox, Google Play, APK Downloader add-on and APK Downloader.
So, 2 ways to download the app from the Google Play store.
Method 1... Doesn't always work, but the simplest. We launch any browser and go to Google Play. Find the required application and copy the link.
In this case, you can try clicking the Generate Dowload Link button again. If you are successful (second option), you will receive information about the application and a download button will appear.
Since the method described above does not guarantee a quick download of the application, that is, a more reliable method.
Method 2... Install the APK Downloader add-on for the Firefox browser. Launch Firefox and go to the app store page.
After installing and running the add-on, 2 new windows will open. The first contains links to additional information and can be closed.
And the second contains the information we need most. The add-on has already independently generated the ID of the virtual Android device and mail for accessing the virtual Google account. For the downloaded application to work on your device or emulator, select the Android version and device model.
If you select an incompatible device with the version of the application that is on the Play Market, you will not be able to download it. In this case, if this is not critical for you, you should select the device again. For example, at first many applications did not work on mobile Android devices with an Intel Atom processor.
Pressing the Logout button leads to the fact that you "log out" and get to the menu where you can re-select the type of device. In the same menu, you can select and configure the data of your real or test Google account.
I don’t see the point of transferring the password and login of your account to a third-party service, and whether it is worth doing it is up to you. Perhaps, in case of interruptions in the work of virtual accounts, using your account data, you can log in and download the application. The ID data of your device can be obtained about which I already wrote in detail.
Now, after we are logged in, we can go to the page of the application that we wanted to download. The long-awaited Download APK button appeared, which we finished off. It remains to click it and the application in the form of an apk file will be downloaded to your computer.
As of January 12, 2016, both methods work and provide the ability to download applications from the Google Play store.

The application is not installed. There can be many reasons here: not enough space, incompatibility of technical characteristics, bugs in software or firmware of your device. Are you sure the smartphone meets the specified specifications? Then try this:
1. First, uninstall unnecessary programs, restart the device, change the disk for storing recordings and clear the Google Play cache (go to settings - applications - Google Play);
2. Especially for those for whom the above solutions did not help. Delete your Google account from your device and re-authorize it.
