What Are Split APKs?

Split APKs are app bundles made up of:

They come in different file types:

File Type	What It Means
`.apks`	Android App Bundle (ZIP)
`.apkm`	App downloaded via APKMirror Installer
`.xapk`	APK + OBB in one package

How to Use:

If it asks for permission to install unknown apps, allow it.

Error	Fix
App not installed	Uninstall older version before installing
Package conflict	Clear Play Store version or cache
Stuck on “Parsing Package”	Rename file from `.apks` to `.zip` and open in SAI
SAI says “Invalid File”	Re-download from namoapk (file may be corrupt)
OBB missing	Make sure you move OBB folder manually from extracted `.xapk`

No. All modern installers like SAI or APKMirror work perfectly without root access.

Split APKs are the future — and installing them is easy once you use the right tools.

Just use SAI, follow this guide, and you’ll be playing MOD games from namoapk.com in no time.
