      I just discovered that myself! I had everything Google-related that I could find on my phone disabled, which is why I couldn’t figure this out right away. When I enabled Google files, I was able to go to Apps and download the apk by sharing it. However, it won’t install on my wife’s phone, which makes me think that when I switch to GrapheneOS that it may well not work there either. In any event, I won’t have any scruples pirating it since I already paid for it!

    I thought an APK file was basically a ZIP file with a standardized structure. You should just be able to rename the extension to ZIP to open it up and view the contents.

    Not like that’s going to decompile the code and all, but that’s the first thing I’d start with.
