Wouldn't that require instructing end-users to first turn off critical
security features in Android?
Kind of, sometimes. There is already a message on the web site that users
need to enable "Unknown Sources" in order to download. But it does vary by
OS. On Android 9 the OS puts up a dialog asking if you want to download and
stores your preference per app for future updates. On earlier versions of
the OS they need to go into system settings.
In any case, users will not be the general public and will be expecting a
private download for a specific purpose. After the app is downloaded, they
can turn off Unknown Sources if they like. Also, Android's built-in malware
scanning works regardless of the system setting, so not all security
features are turned off.
