Download the Forge APK directly for advanced testing. It is a real Android app with native mobile controls on your phone or tablet, not a browser shortcut and not a WebView-only shell. Normal-user Android distribution should use a trusted store or testing track once available. The mobile app includes notification controls for work, device, security, and update alerts.
Android install truth
Direct APK sideload is an advanced/testing path. Some Android devices, especially Samsung phones with Samsung Auto Blocker, can block unknown app installs even after Chrome is allowed to install unknown apps. That is a device security policy, not proof the APK is corrupt.
Do not disable phone protection unless you understand the risk. Google Play internal testing and Galaxy Store distribution are pending; those are the recommended normal-user paths once available.

Android may ask you to allow installing unknown apps for your browser or files app. Chrome unknown-app permission is not sufficient on devices where Auto Blocker or device policy blocks sideloading. Forge finality must prove APK validity and emulator/device installability, or record the exact blocker.
