Can the forums allow uploading Android application package files? (APK)

Here's a Wikipedia article about Android application package file format, known as APK file format.

I was wondering if APK is allowed to be uploaded directly as an attachment and be attached to a post?

Thanks in advance.

How big are these likely to be?

Good question. I have no clue to how big these APK files can be. On Google Play, APK files average about 2 or 3 MB for applications, 10 MB to 15 MB for games, sometimes going above 50 MB, etc. The range is pretty broad.

If, for instance, a person who making small Android projects, most likely the file size would be less than 0.5 MB. My project is barely 60KB large.

I'm pretty sure we are not going to be hosting large APK files, like Google Play.

I added it to the allowed file extensions.
