How do I fix an APK file that won't open?

You might need to give a specific app permission to install the unofficial APK files. Or, you might see the option, enable install unknown sources or unknown apps. If it still doesn't open, you might need a file manager then.

Put the .apk file up at a web site and point the phone's browser at it. You can also try emailing the .apk file to your phone. Either way, you'll have to enable installation of apps from unknown sources.
