play-store-app-install

Gets a named Android app onto a device and running, from whatever the user has: a Play Store link, a bare package name, or APK files they already hold. scripts/playapp.py (standard library only) does the deterministic parts — parsing, preflight, state checks, sideloading, verification, launching.

The one step it cannot do alone is tapping Play's Install button, which is UI work; use android-ui-driver for that, bracketed by open-listing and wait-installed.

When NOT to use

• Tapping around inside an app that is already installed → android-ui-driver.
• Permissions, version, crash logs of an installed app → android-package-diagnostics.
• "Review this app end to end" → android-app-review (it calls this skill first).
• Publishing your app to Play, bundletool, internal test tracks → developer workflows, out of scope here.
