Let’s create a simple Automator app to make installing apk files a little easier.

Download the Android SDK for Mac and extract it to an Android folder in your home directory.
Launch Automator and create a new application.
Add an action “Run Shell Script” with a sh shell.
Paste this command: ~/Android/android-sdk-mac/platform-tools/adb install -r “$1″
Add another two actions shown below if you want a feedback from the script.
Save the application to the Applications folder.
Associate apk files with your new application.

Now you can install Android apps by double clicking on apk files.
