What is an APK file format in Android operating system?

Can someone explain what an APK file is and how it is used in the Android operating system? I want to understand more about its purpose and components.

Hi @alvena - I see this is your first post in the Seller Community so I'd like to officially welcome you! 🎉👏

I am also unfamiliar with this, so I did a quick Google search. Here's what I found, "An APK file (Android Package Kit file format) is the file format for applications used on the Android operating system (OS). An APK file contains all the data an app needs, including all of the software program's code, assets and resources."

I hope this information is helpful, but please do let me know if you have any additional questions.
