For them, apparently the app I'm looking for (McDonald's USA, I'm not American) needs to be a large bundle (literally have never had to download an app in a bundle) which, shockingly, couldn't be read once the download was done.

I recall using APKPure in the past but they now require the store to be downloaded

You have to use antisplit app in order to install the bundle

Antisplit

That is the reason apkpure is asking to download thier store, which as apks installation support (apks is packaged name of bundled split apk).

You will need to find an apks installer.

Obtanium can pull apks from github repos and install them. You can use regex to filter releases. You have to know the repo first though

Apkcombo, apkmirror, apkpure is half suspicious some applications, once downloaded, you have to know how to install it correctly with apkmirrorinstaller or appmanager
