@criticalmodder,

It was caused by change which made server to return explitily mime type for files. For APK files server returned no mime type at all. I asume that when no mime type was returned Chrome on Android tried to guess type of the file and ended with .zip extension by some reason since APK file itself is actually ZIP file with different extension.
