Why doesn't he just install it? The app is there in the store, everyone can get it.
All in all, you can't rip appx files from a phone. You could maybe do it from the store, I know that was possible earlier, though I think that was removed with the new store.

probably the person does not have enough data to download the app, (a game? 1GB ?)

As far as I know, you cant just download .appx, like you cam with .apk or .ios, like they say, the best way is through the store
