ApkLevel – APK Store & App Marketplace Script (Laravel 13 + Flutter App)

Launch your own APK download store

ApkLevel is a complete APK store and app marketplace built with Laravel 13. Registered users upload their own Android apps and games (APK, XAPK or APKS), every upload is checked automatically and waits for your approval, and visitors download verified files, rate apps and write reviews. Developers get their own Publisher Studio, you earn with AdSense and paid promotions, and a Flutter app for Android and iOS is included.

A store people love to browse

Hero slider, trending apps, Editor's Choice, top charts, latest updates and all 50 Google Play categories – fully responsive with dark mode and instant search suggestions.

App pages built to rank and download

• One-tap download for files of any size, with virus-scan badge and SHA-256 checksum
• Screenshots with a full-screen viewer, promo video, pros & cons, versions and reviews

Developers upload their own apps

A 4-step wizard reads the package name, version, icon and permissions straight from the APK, XAPK or APKS file. Big files are uploaded in 5 MB parts.

Every upload is approved by you

• Automatic checks: structure, signature, sensitive permissions, listing completeness and optional VirusTotal lookup
• Approve, request changes or reject with a reason – or auto-approve verified developers

Publisher Studio with real analytics

Downloads, page views, ratings and replies for 7, 30 or 90 days, statistics for every app, a review inbox and an account checklist.

Paid promotions with payments you can trust

• Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, iyzico and bank transfer
• Every payment verified on the server; signed webhooks; each payment reference can pay only one order

Your brand, your colours

Five theme styles, ten colour presets or your own colours, five self-hosted fonts, logo, favicon and a changeable admin folder name.

Support and updates

Support covers installation, configuration and bugs in the item. Updates are free for buyers. Server administration and custom development are not included.

Demo note: the live demo runs in demo mode – saving and deleting are disabled, so it stays the same for every visitor.

• Web hosting with PHP 8.3 or newer (8.3, 8.4, 8.5) and MySQL 5.7+ / 8.x or MariaDB 10.3+ (SQLite also works)
• PHP extensions: pdo_mysql, mbstring, openssl, curl, gd (WebP), fileinfo, zip
• Apache or LiteSpeed with mod_rewrite (cPanel, hPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin) or Nginx
• No Composer, Node.js or SSH needed — all libraries are included

• Mobile app: Flutter 3.44+ and the Android SDK to build; iOS builds need a Mac with Xcode

Install

• 1. Create an empty MySQL database and a user with all privileges in your hosting panel, and select PHP 8.3 or newer.
• 2. Extract the ZIP. Upload the contents of the product folder to your domain folder (e.g. public_html) – including the hidden .htaccess file.
• 3. Open your-domain.com/install: the web installer checks the server, creates the tables, imports the Google Play categories and creates your admin account (optional demo content).
• 4. Log in at the admin folder you chose and set your logo, colours, SMTP e-mail, login methods and payment methods.
• 5. Optional: add the cron job shown in the documentation, paste your Search Console code and your AdSense publisher ID.
• 6. Mobile app: open the mobile_app folder in VS Code, set your website address and build the APK – every step is in documentation/app-vscode.html.

Updates

Upload the contents of the new product folder over the old files (keep .env, storage and public/uploads) and open the site – database updates are applied automatically on the first visit (Clear cache in the admin top bar does the same).

The illustrated step-by-step guide is in documentation/index.html.
