Problem to solve
After we deliver #37346 (closed), we can make the artefacts more accessible by unzipping the package and allow downloading only the *.apk file which will be more efficient to someone who needs to review a mobile app
Intended users
Also QA engineers
Further details
When you developing a mobile app and you want to test/demo it, you need to install the apk on an emulator/physical device. Allowing users to download the apk directly from the MR can save a lot of time.
Proposal
Following the mockup from #37346 (closed):
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/uploads/8952aea667c9055820cba632fc30f010/image.png
Pressing the download button should allow you several options - download artefacts - which will give you to download any pipeline artefacts (like on the pipelines download) or allow you to download the package - apk files
We should also offer an API similar to GET /projects/:id/jobs/:job_id/artifacts/*artifact_path that will allow to download the *apk directly. This can be used for scripts that download the file directly to the resources (emulator/physical device)
Permissions and Security

Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Number of people downloading *.apk type artefacts
What is the type of buyer?
