Definitely agree, however we want to enable offline installation. We are dealing with heavy multimedia content which could take too long to download from a phone. In this case, if I am a user, I need to first download the app along with multimedia content --> install the application --> from the installed application find the multimedia content on sd card. Which is probably fine, however I hoped for an easier, 1 step installation.
