The phrase refers to the process of acquiring and installing a specific application package file, designed for the Android operating system, that relates to a service or platform named “Orion Stars.” This installation process bypasses the official application store. The term encompasses locating the file from a source outside of the Google Play Store and manually initiating the installation on an Android device.
The appeal of obtaining applications in this manner often stems from a desire to access features or versions not readily available through official channels. These could include modified versions, early releases, or applications restricted by geographical limitations or platform policies. Historically, this method was more prevalent when official app distribution channels were less established or offered a limited selection. However, it introduces potential security risks and compatibility issues compared to installations performed through the official Google Play Store.
