This is windows phone, not android. Windows phone is not supporting apk file.

You might be able to download an apk through using one of the online apk downloaders where you copy and paste a link from on the play store,I have used these before on my laptop,

It's likely windows phone won't recognise apks even if you get this far

You certainly won't be able to use it on windows phone which I presume you already know

That won't work on Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile. Project Astoria is no longer available.
