2. In Chrome web browser go to Settings > Extensions menu.
3. Drag and drop the downloaded file to the center of the Extensions menu window. Allow installation, press the “Add” button.
4. Click on “options” , then the options form window will appear.
To access the Play Store you will need to enter real, active Gmail address (logged in on the Android device) and Android Device ID. The account is what you use on the phone or tablet.

The Device ID can be found by dialing *#*#8255#*#*. Find the 16 characters at JID. eg: in this case it is the string started with 3d50…….
Another option is to get the ID is to use Device ID app

5. Now you can head over to Google Play and start browsing through the available titles. When you find something you would like to download, open up its page and click the APK Downloader icon at the right hand side of the address bar and save the APK as you would any other download.
