APK is the basic format for Android apps. It’s the simplest and can be installed directly on an Android phone or on a PC using an emulator.
What’s APKs?
APKs are essentially a ZIP archive of multiple Android App Bundles component APK files. They’re usually smaller than APKs because they contain only the most essential components. You can’t install APKs directly; you’ll need another tool called XAPKS Installer.

XAPK has the same structure as APKs but includes OBB, the large-size binary data part of an Android application.
