opening apk in chrome download list not open the apk Installer

I have a QtQuick2 application.I build it(with signing) for android with Release Configuration with Qt 5.15.1,

When I download Apk with chrome And click on it on downloads list on chrome,It should be open with Installer but It will opens with file explorer And many of my users say that It will opens with UnZip Apps.I did't have this problem with Qt 5.12 ,This problem has been found since I installed Qt 5.15.

When I click on this file on File Explorer(on Android) there is no problem and it will opens with Apk installer.How can I solve the problem?

the apk link is here:

I think there is a bug on Qt 5.13(and later version) or Qt Creator.I now tested with Qt 5.15.1 and Qt Creator 4.13.2

AndroidManifest.xml file:

Why can't I open downloaded APK?

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.

How do I open APK files in Chrome?

Install ARC Welder through the Chrome Store, just select 'Add to Chrome' and it will automatically install. Once installed, you need your app in APK file form. An APK file is like an installer for Android. Right click the Arc Welder extension, select the APK file you want, and it will run in Chrome.

Why I cant click install in APK?

By default, the Android OS will not let you allow install APK and apps from PlayStore are allowed. But you need to give a permission in your settings to “Allow Third-Party APK Files”. Once the checkbox is selected, the OS will ask your permission once you click on an APK file to install/reject it.

Why can't Chrome install APK?

You can't install the apk file downloaded from chrome because it's a mobile application, which means that it needs to be installed on a mobile device. You can only install the apk file downloaded from chrome if you have an android device or emulator (Emulator that allows you to play android games on a PC).

I solved my problem by creating a MIME-TYPE mapping of apk to application/vnd.android.package-archive. it depends on your web server. for example in IIS follow bellow steps.
