import RNApkInstaller from "@dominicvonk/react-native-apk-installer";

const filePath = RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/com.domain.example.apk";
const download = RNFS.downloadFile({
  fromUrl: "apk file download url",
  toFile: filePath,
  progress: (res) => {
    console.log((res.bytesWritten / res.contentLength).toFixed(2));
  },
  progressDivider: 1,
});

download.promise.then((result) => {
  if (result.statusCode == 200) {
    RNApkInstaller.install(filePath);
  }
});

// Do you have permission to install from unknown sources?
RNApkInstaller.haveUnknownAppSourcesPermission();

// Turn on Unknown Sources permission settings
